# Client-side or library-side memory allocation with [Python CFFI](https://cffi.readthedocs.io)?

Client side is more general but we also wish a Pythonic API.

Check out [test.py](../master/test.py).

## How to build and run the example

```

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

cd ..

virtualenv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

EXAMPLE_BUILD_DIR=build python test.py

```
