mypyc: Mypy to Python C Extension Compiler

Mypyc is very early in development and not yet useful for anything.

Mypyc is a compiler that aims to eventually compile mypy-annotated, statically typed Python modules into Python C extensions.

MacOS Requirements

• macOS Sierra

• Xcode command line tools

• Python 3.6 (64-bit) from python.org (other versions likely won't work right now)

Linux Requirements

Linux is currently not fully supported as a development platform.

• A recent enough C/C++ build environment

• Python 3.5+ (64-bit)

Windows Requirements

Windows is currently unsupported.

Quick Start for Contributors

First clone the mypyc git repository and git submodules:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JukkaL/mypyc.git

Then install the dependencies:

$ cd mypyc
$ python3 -m pip install -r mypy/test-requirements.txt

You need to have the mypy subdirectory in your PYTHONPATH:

$ export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/mypy

Now you can run the tests:

$ pytest mypyc

Look at the issue tracker for things to work on.

We have some developer documentation.
