WAAO: Hybrid CPython Package

Common errors

• ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'waao'

  cause The `waao` package is not installed in the current Python environment or the environment is not active.
  fix Run `pip install waao` to install the package. If already installed, ensure your Python environment is correctly activated.

• AttributeError: type object 'WAAO' has no attribute 'non_existent_method'

  cause You are attempting to call a method on the `WAAO` class that does not exist or is not publicly exposed by the library.
  fix Review the `waao` documentation or source code for the correct method names (e.g., `add_numbers`, `multiply_numbers`, `perform_complex_operation`, `run_waao`).

• TypeError: argument must be an int, not str

  cause One of the C-backed functions of `WAAO` received an argument of an incorrect Python type, typically a string when an integer was expected.
  fix Ensure all arguments passed to `WAAO`'s methods are of the correct type, typically integers for numerical operations.

Warnings

• gotcha As a CPython extension, `waao` might require a compiler toolchain (e.g., GCC or MSVC) if pre-compiled wheels are not available for your specific Python version, operating system, or architecture. This is generally handled by pip, but can be a source of installation issues.
  Fix: Ensure your system has the necessary build tools installed. For Windows, install 'Build Tools for Visual Studio'. For Linux, install 'build-essential' (Debian/Ubuntu) or 'Development Tools' (Fedora/RHEL).
• gotcha The library's C functions generally expect integer inputs. Passing non-integer types (e.g., floats, strings) to methods like `add_numbers` or `multiply_numbers` can lead to `TypeError` or unexpected behavior if not explicitly handled by the internal CPython bindings.
  Fix: Always ensure that arguments passed to WAAO's C-backed methods are of the expected integer type to prevent type-related errors.
• gotcha The `waao` package is designed for specific computational speedups using C. Attempting to use it for tasks outside its exposed C functionality (e.g., generic Python operations) will not yield performance benefits and might complicate your codebase.
  Fix: Utilize `waao` only for the specific numerical operations it provides. For general programming, stick to standard Python libraries.

Install

• pip install waao Install stable version

Imports

• WAAO

  from waao import WAAO

  WAAO is the primary class providing access to the underlying C functions.

Quickstart

This quickstart demonstrates how to import the WAAO class and use its exposed C functions for basic arithmetic and a more complex operation, finally calling the main `run_waao` method.

from waao import WAAO

# Example 1: Add two numbers using the C function
result_add = WAAO.add_numbers(5, 3)
print(f"Result of add_numbers: {result_add}")

# Example 2: Multiply two numbers using the C function
result_multiply = WAAO.multiply_numbers(5, 3)
print(f"Result of multiply_numbers: {result_multiply}")

# Example 3: Demonstrate a more complex C operation
complex_result = WAAO.perform_complex_operation(10, 20, 3)
print(f"Result of perform_complex_operation: {complex_result}")

# Example 4: Run the main WAOO logic (if applicable)
WAAO.run_waao()
