For instance, you can look at the compiler example that Eli wrote using llvmlite. It implements a JIT compiler for a toy language. The JIT-compiled function is then declared and called using a simple ctypes declaration: https://github.com/eliben/pykaleidoscope/blob/master/chapter7.py#L937 Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
