{"library":"extension-helpers","type":"library","category":null,"description":"extension-helpers provides a suite of utilities designed to simplify the process of building and installing Python packages that include compiled extensions (e.g., C, C++, Fortran). It helps manage compiler flags, OpenMP support, and the Python Limited API (PEP 384) for ABI compatibility. The current version is 1.4.0, and it follows a stable release cadence with minor versions released every few months, often coinciding with Astropy-related ecosystem updates.","language":"python","status":"active","version":"1.4.0","tags":["build-system","extensions","setuptools","C/C++","fortran","ABI"],"last_verified":"Thu May 21","install":[{"cmd":"pip install extension-helpers","imports":["from extension_helpers import get_extensions","from extension_helpers import add_extension_helpers_build_options"]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/astropy/extension-helpers","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/extension-helpers/","npm":null,"openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"3.10–3.9","success_rate":100,"avg_install_s":1.9,"avg_import_s":0.86,"wheel_type":"wheel"},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/extension-helpers/compatibility"}}
