hello-c-py

This is a simple Python extension module that provides a greet function for personalized greetings. You can use this module to print customized greetings in Python.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how to create a simple Python extension module using C and build it for Python integration. In this project, we have a C extension module named hello that provides a greet function for personalized greetings in Python. Additionally, we'll provide instructions on how to execute the script main.py from the command line, passing a name as a command-line argument.

The provided C code in "hello.c" is an extension module for Python. This code allows you to define a new Python module named hello, which contains a function called greet. The greet function can be called from Python, accepts one argument (a name), and prints a personalized greeting.

  • Python 3.x
