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.

Output

Okay, let's create a Python extension module named `magic` written in C. This involves writing the C code for the module and a `setup.py` script to build it. **Prerequisites:** You'll need: 1. A C compiler (like `gcc`). 2. Python 3 development headers. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, install them with: 

1
2
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev
On Fedora/CentOS/RHEL-based systems, install them with: 
1
2
3
sudo dnf update # or yum update
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" # or yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo dnf install python3-devel # or yum install python3-devel
**Steps:** 1. **Create the C source file (`magic.c`)** Create a file named `magic.c` and paste the following code into it:

    #define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
    #include <Python.h>

    // The actual C function that performs the addition
    static int do_add_c(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    // Python wrapper function for do_add_c
    // This function takes Python objects as input, converts them to C types,
    // calls the C function, and converts the result back to a Python object.
    static PyObject* magic_do_add(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) {
        int a, b;
        int result;

        // Parse the arguments from Python (expecting two integers "ii")
        if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "ii", &a, &b)) {
            // If parsing fails, PyArg_ParseTuple raises an exception, so return NULL.
            return NULL;
        }

        // Call the actual C function
        result = do_add_c(a, b);

        // Convert the C integer result back to a Python integer object
        // PyLong_FromLong creates a new Python int object.
        return PyLong_FromLong(result);
    }

    // Method definition table for the module
    // This tells Python about the functions available in the module.
    // {<python_name>, <c_function>, <argument_type>, <docstring>}
    static PyMethodDef MagicMethods[] = {
        {"do_add", magic_do_add, METH_VARARGS, "Adds two integers."},
        {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}        /* Sentinel */
    };

    // Module definition structure
    static struct PyModuleDef magicmodule = {
        PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,
        "magic",   /* name of module */
        "A simple module that adds two integers using C.", /* 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
    // This function is called when Python imports the module.
    // The name MUST be PyInit_<module_name>
    PyMODINIT_FUNC PyInit_magic(void) {
        return PyModule_Create(&magicmodule);
    }
2. **Create the setup script (`setup.py`)** Create a file named `setup.py` in the *same directory* as `magic.c` and paste the following code into it: 
 1

    from setuptools import setup, Extension

    # Define the extension module
    magic_module = Extension(
        'magic',                # Name of the module
        sources=['magic.c']     # List of source files
    )

    # Run the setup
    setup(
        name='MagicModule',
        version='1.0',
        description='A simple C extension module for adding integers',
        ext_modules=[magic_module] # List of extension modules to build
    )
3. **Build the C extension** Open your terminal in the directory containing `magic.c` and `setup.py`. Run the following command: 
1
2
    python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
* `python3 setup.py`: Executes the setup script using Python 3. * `build_ext`: Tells `setup.py` to build C extensions. * `--inplace`: Puts the compiled shared object file (e.g., `magic.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so` - the exact name depends on your Python version and architecture) directly into the current directory, making it immediately importable by Python scripts run from the same directory. You should see output from the C compiler (like `gcc`) and linking process. If it completes without errors, you'll find a new file with a `.so` extension in your directory. 4. **Run the Python code** Now, you can run the command you specified: 
1
2
    python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
**Expected Output:** 
1
7
You have successfully created a C extension module `magic` with a function `do_add` and called it from Python!

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
