Porting Extension Modules to Python 3
|
|
*************************************
|
|
|
|
We recommend the following resources for porting extension modules to Python 3:
|
|
|
|
* The `Migrating C extensions`_ chapter from
|
|
*Supporting Python 3: An in-depth guide*, a book on moving from Python 2
|
|
to Python 3 in general, guides the reader through porting an extension
|
|
module.
|
|
* The `Porting guide`_ from the *py3c* project provides opinionated
|
|
suggestions with supporting code.
|
|
* :ref:`Recommended third party tools <c-api-tools>` offer abstractions over
|
|
the Python's C API.
|
|
Extensions generally need to be re-written to use one of them,
|
|
but the library then handles differences between various Python
|
|
versions and implementations.
