Here's a step-by-step guide to create a Python extension module in C that allows you to call a simple addition function:

#include <Python.h>
// The actual C function that does the addition
static int c_do_add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
// Python wrapper for the C function
static PyObject* py_do_add(PyObject* self, PyObject* args) {
int a, b;
// Parse the Python arguments into C integers
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "ii", &a, &b)) {
return NULL;
}
// Call the C function and return the result as a Python integer
return PyLong_FromLong(c_do_add(a, b));
}
// Method definition object for this extension, these argumens mean:
// ml_name: The name of the method
// ml_meth: Function pointer to the method implementation
// ml_flags: Flags indicating special features of this method, such as
// accepting arguments, accepting keyword arguments, being a class method, etc.
// ml_doc: Contents of this method's docstring
static PyMethodDef MagicMethods[] = {
{"do_add",
py_do_add,
METH_VARARGS, // Indicates that the method takes variable arguments
"Add two integers"},
{NULL, NULL, 0, NULL} // Sentinel
};
// Module definition
static struct PyModuleDef magicmodule = {
PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,
"magic", // name of module
NULL, // module documentation, may be NULL
-1, // size of per-interpreter state of the module, or -1 if the module keeps state in global variables.
MagicMethods
};
// Module initialization function
PyMODINIT_FUNC PyInit_magic(void) {
return PyModule_Create(&magicmodule);
}
|
2. Create a setup.py file:
| from distutils.core import setup, Extension
module = Extension('magic',
sources = ['magic.c'])
setup(name = 'MagicModule',
version = '1.0',
description = 'This is a demo package',
ext_modules = [module])
|
3. Build the module:
| # Install python development headers if not already installed
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
# Build the module
python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
|
4. Verify it works:
| # Now you can run the command you specified
python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
|
This should output:
Key points:
- You need Python development headers installed
- The C code includes Python.h and follows the Python C extension module pattern
- `py_do_add` is a wrapper that converts Python arguments to C types and back
- `setup.py` handles the compilation of the C code into a Python-importable module
- `build_ext --inplace` builds the module in the current directory so Python can import it
Troubleshooting:
- Make sure you have python3-dev installed
- Ensure you're using the same Python version for building and running
- The module name in `PyInit_magic()` must match the filename (magic.so)
If you encounter any specific errors during build or import, please share the exact error message.

2. Create a `setup.py` file:
| from distutils.core import setup, Extension
module = Extension('magic', sources=['magic.c'])
setup(name='MagicModule',
version='1.0',
description='Magic module with do_add function',
ext_modules=[module])
|
3. Compile the module:
| # Make sure you have python3-dev and build-essential installed
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-dev build-essential
# Compile the module
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
|
4. Verify installation:
| python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
|
This should print `7`.
A few notes:
- The code uses the Python C API to create an extension module
- `PyArg_ParseTuple` is used to convert Python arguments to C types
- `PyLong_FromLong` converts the C result back to a Python integer
- The compilation steps install the module so it can be imported
If you encounter any issues:
- Ensure you have the Python development headers installed
- Check that you're using the same Python version for compilation and running
- Verify the module is installed in the correct Python path
Troubleshooting potential issues:
- If you get a permission error during install, use `sudo python3 setup.py install`
- If you have multiple Python versions, specify the exact Python version in the commands

Ensure you have Python development headers and build tools installed. The commands are for Ubuntu/Debian-like systems. Adjust package manager commands for other distributions if needed.
If you encounter any issues with imports or compilation, double-check:
1. Python development headers are installed
2. You're using the correct Python version
3. You have necessary build tools
4. You run the install commands with appropriate permissions

- The C code uses Python's C API to create a wrapper around a simple C function
- `PyArg_ParseTuple` is used to convert Python arguments to C types
- `PyLong_FromLong` converts the C result back to a Python integer
- The setup.py file handles the compilation of the C code into a Python-importable module
If you encounter any issues:
- Make sure you have Python development headers installed
- Verify you're using the correct Python version
- Check that the module is in your Python path
This method creates a compiled extension module that can be imported like any other Python module, but contains C code for performance or interfacing with existing C libraries.

Query
Now please conver this answer into a JSON array that packages it all up so I don't need to think and can just copy files to specific locations and then run things. Format your answer
{"path/to/file": "contents of C file",
"path/to/python_file": "contents of any necessary python file that exposes do_add",
"build.sh": "contents of a bash file to build the project",
... # any other files necessary
}
The only thing I will do is put files in the right place and run `bash build.sh`. Do not give any explanation of the code. ONLY ANSWER WITH A SINGLE JSON OBJECT. Your answer should start

Initial Query
I want to call some C code from python on a linux machine. Specifically, I want to be able to run
python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
and have it give me the sum of these numbers. Here, do_add should be a C function that adds two integers.
Please give me a complete set of instructions for how to make this run, so that when I run this code as-is it will work.

Here's a step-by-step guide to create a Python extension module in C that implements the do_add function:

#include <Python.h>
// The actual C function that does the addition
static int c_do_add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
// Python wrapper for the C function
static PyObject* py_do_add(PyObject* self, PyObject* args) {
int a, b;
// Parse the Python arguments into C integers
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "ii", &a, &b)) {
return NULL;
}
// Call the C function and return the result as a Python integer
return PyLong_FromLong(c_do_add(a, b));
}
// Method definition object for this extension, these argumens mean:
// ml_name: The name of the method
// ml_meth: Function pointer to the method implementation
// ml_flags: Flags indicating special features of this method, such as
// accepting arguments, accepting keyword arguments, being a class method, etc.
// ml_doc: Contents of this method's docstring
static PyMethodDef MagicMethods[] = {
{"do_add",
py_do_add,
METH_VARARGS, // Accepts positional arguments
"Add two integers"},
{NULL, NULL, 0, NULL} // Sentinel
};
// Module definition
static struct PyModuleDef magicmodule = {
PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,
"magic", // name of module
NULL, // module documentation, may be NULL
-1, // size of per-interpreter state of the module, or -1 if the module keeps state in global variables.
MagicMethods
};
// Module initialization function
PyMODINIT_FUNC
PyInit_magic(void) {
return PyModule_Create(&magicmodule);
}

2. Create a setup.py file:
| from distutils.core import setup, Extension
module = Extension('magic',
sources=['magic.c'])
setup(name='MagicModule',
version='1.0',
description='Magic module with do_add function',
ext_modules=[module])
|
3. Compile the module:
| python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
|
This will create a .so file (shared object) in your current directory.
4. Now you can run the command you specified:
| python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
|
This should output:
Key points:
- You need Python development headers (install with `sudo apt-get install python3-dev` on Ubuntu/Debian)
- The C code includes Python.h
- py_do_add is a wrapper that converts Python arguments to C types and back
- The module is compiled using Python's setup tools
- The .so file must be in the Python path or current directory
Troubleshooting:
- Ensure you have Python development headers installed
- Check that the .so file name matches the module name (magic.cpython-*.so)
- Make sure you're using the same Python version for compilation and running
This approach provides a clean, standard way to create Python extensions in C that can be imported and used like a normal Python module.
