Improved build system generator for Python C/C++/Fortran/Cython extensions
Project description
Improved build system generator for CPython C/C++/Fortran/Cython extensions.
Better support is available for additional compilers, build systems, cross compilation, and locating dependencies and determining their build requirements.
The scikit-build package is fundamentally just glue between the setuptools Python module and CMake.
To get started, see this example and scikit-build-sample-projects.

Scikit-build 0.17.0
A lot of bug fixes are present in this release, focusing on Windows, PyPy, and cross compiling. We’ve also improved the compatibility with default setuptools behaviors a little, and enabled some things that were previously unavailable, like overriding the build type via the cmake argument environment variables. We’ve expanded our CI matrix to include Windows and macOS PyPy and some Fortran tests on Linux. This release requires Python 3.7+.
Bug fixes
Match setuptools behavior for include_package_data default. by @vyasr in #873.
Misc. fixes for F2PY and PythonExtensions modules by @benbovy in #495.
Provide more useful error if user provides CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX by @vyasr in #872.
Stop assuming that .pyx files are in the same directory as CMakeLists.txt by @vyasr in #871.
Allow build type overriding in #902.
Detect PyPy library correctly on Windows by user:gershnik in #904.
Include library for FindPython for better Windows cross-compiles in #913. Thanks to user:maxbachmann for testing.
Fix logic for default generator when cross-compiling for ARM on Windows in #917 by @dlech.
Use f2py’s get_include if present in #877.
Fix support for cross-compilation exception using targetLinkLibrariesWithDynamicLookup by @erykoff in #901.
Treat empty MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET as if it was unset in #918.

History
PyCMake was created at SciPy 2014 in response to general difficulties building C++ and Fortran based Python extensions across platforms. It was renamed to “scikit-build” in 2016.
Known Issues
These issues are likely to be addressed in upcoming releases.
Editable installs do not work with the latest versions of Setuptools (and had issues with older versions, too).
Configuration scikit-build cares about _must_ be specified in setup() currently.
The cache directory (_skbuild) may need to be deleted between builds in some cases (like rebuilding with a different Python interpreter).
We are also working on improving scikit-build, so there are some upcoming changes and deprecations:
All deprecated setuptools/distutils features are also deprecated in scikit-build, like the test command, easy_install, etc.
Older versions of CMake (<3.15) are not recommended; a future version will remove support for older CMake’s (along with providing a better mechanism for ensuring a proper CMake is available).
If you need any of these features, please open or find an issue explaining what and why you need something.
