An example Python package written in x86-64 assembly.
Project description
# Building Python Extension Modules in Assembly
![GitHub Actions](https://github.com/tonybaloney/python-assembly-poc/workflows/Python%20package/badge.svg)
This repository is a proof-of-concept to demonstrate how you can create a Python Extension in 100% assembly.
Demonstrates:
How to write a Python module in pure assembly
How to write a function in pure assembly and call it from Python with Python objects
How to call the C API to create a PyObject and parse PyTuple (arguments) into raw pointers
How to pass data back into Python
How to register a module from assembly
How to create a method definition in assembly
How to write back to the Python stack using the dynamic module loader
How to package a NASM/Assembly Python extension with distutils
The simple proof-of-concept function takes 2 parameters,
`default >>> import pymult >>> pymult.multiply(2, 4) 8 `
## But, Why?
Just because it can be done.
Also, I want to see if some AVX/AVX2 instructions (high-performance matrix multiplication especially) can be used directly from Python.
