## Calling C code from Python on Linux Here's how to run the Python code `python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'` to get the sum of two numbers using a C function `do_add`: **1. Create the C code:** - Create a file named `magic.c` with the following code:

1
2
3
4
5
#include <stdio.h>

int do_add(int a, int b) {
  return a + b;
}
**2. Compile the C code:** - Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved `magic.c`. - Compile the code using the following command:
1
gcc -fPIC -shared -o magic.so magic.c
This command: - Compiles the `magic.c` file. - Uses the `-fPIC` flag to generate position-independent code. - Uses the `-shared` flag to create a shared library. - Names the output file `magic.so`. **3. Create a Python module:** - Create a file named `magic.py` with the following code:
1
2
3
from ctypes import CDLL

lib = CDLL("./magic.so")
This code: - Imports the `CDLL` function from the `ctypes` module. - Loads the shared library `magic.so` as a CDLL object. **4. Run the Python code:** - Open a terminal and run the following command:
1
python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
This command: - Imports the `magic` module you created. - Calls the `do_add` function from the C code, passing 3 and 4 as arguments. - Prints the result of the function, which should be 7. **Complete instructions:** 1. Create a file named `magic.c` with the provided C code. 2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved `magic.c`. 3. Compile the code using `gcc -fPIC -shared -o magic.so magic.c`. 4. Create a file named `magic.py` with the provided Python code. 5. Open a terminal and run `python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'`. If you followed these instructions correctly, you should see the output `7` printed in the terminal.

## Setting Up Your Environment Here's how you can set up your environment to call a C function from Python on a Linux machine: **1. Install the necessary libraries:** * **Python 3:** Make sure you have Python 3 installed. You can check by running `python3 --version` in your terminal. * **cffi:** This library allows Python to call C functions. You can install it using `pip3 install cffi`. * **gcc:** This is the C compiler. It's usually pre-installed on most Linux distributions. **2. Create the C code:** Create a file named `add.c` with the following code:

1
2
3
int do_add(int a, int b) {
  return a + b;
}
This code defines a function `do_add` that takes two integers as arguments and returns their sum. **3. Compile the C code:** Compile the C code using the following command:
1
gcc -fPIC -shared -o add.so add.c
This command will create a shared library named `add.so` containing the `do_add` function. **4. Write the Python code:** Create a file named `main.py` with the following code:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
from cffi import FFI

ffi = FFI()
ffi.dlopen("./add.so")

# Define the C function signature
ffi.cdef("int do_add(int a, int b);")

# Call the C function from Python
result = ffi.C.do_add(3, 4)

print(result)
This code uses the `cffi` library to load the shared library and call the `do_add` function. **5. Run the Python code:** Now you can run the Python code using the following command:
1
python3 main.py
This should print the sum of 3 and 4, which is 7. **Additional Notes:** * Make sure the `add.so` library is in the same directory as your Python script or specify the correct path when loading the library using `ffi.dlopen`. * You can modify the Python code to call other functions from the C library by defining their signatures in the `ffi.cdef` statement. * For more complex scenarios, you might need to manage memory allocation and data types between Python and C. Refer to the `cffi` documentation for more details.

## Requirements: This guide assumes you have a Linux machine with Python 3 and a C compiler installed. ## Steps: 1. **Create the C code:**

1
2
3
4
5
#include <stdio.h>

int do_add(int a, int b) {
  return a + b;
}
Save this code as `add.c` in your project directory. 2. **Compile the C code:** Open a terminal in your project directory and run the following command:
1
gcc -c -fPIC add.c -o add.o
This will compile the C code into an object file called `add.o`. 3. **Create a Python wrapper:** Create a new Python file named `magic.py` in your project directory. Add the following code:
1
2
3
4
5
6
from ctypes import CDLL

lib = CDLL('./add.o')

def do_add(a, b):
  return lib.do_add(a, b)
This code uses the `ctypes` module to load the compiled C code as a shared library and define a Python function `do_add` that calls the C function of the same name. 4. **Run the Python script:** Now you can run the Python script you mentioned:
1
python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
This should print the output:
1
7
## Explanation: This approach uses the following steps: * **Compiling the C code:** The `gcc` command compiles the `add.c` file into an object file `add.o`. * **Creating a Python wrapper:** The `magic.py` file uses the `ctypes` module to load the compiled C code as a shared library and define a Python function that calls the C function. * **Running the Python script:** The Python script imports the `magic` module and calls the `do_add` function, which in turn calls the C function and returns the result. ## Important notes: * This example uses a simple C function with basic data types. For more complex functions or data types, you may need to adjust the Python wrapper code accordingly. * Make sure the `add.o` file is in the same directory as the Python script or in a directory accessible by the Python interpreter. * If you encounter errors during compilation or execution, check for typos and ensure you have the necessary libraries installed.
