Struct python3_dll_a::ImportLibraryGenerator

pub struct ImportLibraryGenerator { /* private fields */ }

Windows import library generator for Python

Generates python3.dll or pythonXY.dll import library directly from the embedded Python ABI definitions data for the specified compile target.

Example usage

// Generate `python3.dll.a` in "target/python3-dll-a"
ImportLibraryGenerator::new("x86_64", "gnu")
    .generate(Path::new("target/python3-dll-a"))
    .unwrap();

// Generate `python3.lib` in "target/python3-lib"
ImportLibraryGenerator::new("x86_64", "msvc")
    .generate(Path::new("target/python3-lib"))
    .unwrap();

// Generate `python39.dll.a` in "target/python3-dll-a"
ImportLibraryGenerator::new("x86_64", "gnu")
    .version(Some((3, 9)))
    .generate(Path::new("target/python3-dll-a"))
    .unwrap();

// Generate `python38.lib` in "target/python3-lib"
ImportLibraryGenerator::new("x86_64", "msvc")
    .version(Some((3, 8)))
    .generate(Path::new("target/python3-lib"))
    .unwrap();

Implementations

impl ImportLibraryGenerator

pub fn new(arch: &str, env: &str) -> Self

Creates a new import library generator for the specified compile target.

The compile target architecture name (as in CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ARCH) is passed in arch.

The compile target environment ABI name (as in CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ENV) is passed in env.

pub fn version(&mut self, version: Option<(u8, u8)>) -> &mut Self

Sets major and minor version for the pythonXY.dll import library.

The version-agnostic python3.dll is generated by default.

pub fn implementation( &mut self, implementation: PythonImplementation ) -> &mut Self

Sets Python interpreter implementation

pub fn generate(&self, out_dir: &Path) -> Result<()>

Generates the Python DLL import library in out_dir.

The version-agnostic python3.dll import library is generated by default unless the version-specific pythonXY.dll import was requested via version().
