From 141100e482e440dd08ea8b5b042927cac968f112 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Melnikov Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2024 22:56:40 +0200 Subject: Add note about meson-python and installation path New people that want to use Meson for building Python extensions most probably will read Python module docs first. Direct them to meson-python and suggest to set `python.install_env=auto`. --- docs/markdown/Python-module.md | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/markdown/Python-module.md') diff --git a/docs/markdown/Python-module.md b/docs/markdown/Python-module.md index 05ae57de2..c02eed91d 100644 --- a/docs/markdown/Python-module.md +++ b/docs/markdown/Python-module.md @@ -12,6 +12,15 @@ authors: This module provides support for finding and building extensions against python installations, be they python 2 or 3. +If you want to build and package Python extension modules using tools +compatible with [PEP-517](https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/), check out +[meson-python](https://mesonbuild.com/meson-python/index.html). + +If you are building Python extension modules against a Python interpreter +located in a venv or Conda environment, you probably want to set +`python.install_venv=auto`; +see [Python module options](Builtin-options.md#python-module) for details. + *Added 0.46.0* ## Functions -- cgit v1.2.3
