Description-en: Foreign Function Interface for Python calling C code
Convenient and reliable way of calling C code from Python.
.
The aim of this project is to provide a convenient and reliable way of calling
C code from Python. It keeps Python logic in Python, and minimises the C
required. It is able to work at either the C API or ABI level, unlike most
other approaches, that only support the ABI level.
.
This package contains the necessary build and runtime support for cffi
modules.
