Hi All, I am writing to you to not get lost in https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/6531. I would like to get an agreement on how we would like to proceed with a CLI. The PR has two parts:
1. Utility for generating C file of shared utility. Here, I propose to pass the full path to the file e.g.: cython_shared_module scipy/_lib/cyshared.c The reason why not to use the import path is because the target package can be hidden inside a directory (e.g. src). This does not work well with the import path. Additional questions: * what we will call the utility for creation of the module? * should it be executable or we will use python -m '...' approach? * should utility create directories or to fail if directory does not exist? 2. cython parameter to instruct cython to compile module with shared utility Here, I propose to use import path and compilation directive: cython -X use_shared_utility=scipy._lib.cyshared my_module.pyx The reason to use the import path is because the file must be internally imported in any case. The import path is a full path including the shared module. Could you help me answer the mentioned questions? I think this is last piece of puzzle and after the PR should be finally complete (there are still PR review needed and rough edges to be polished). Thanks, Matus
