# Python C\+\+ extension template  

## A template for a Python C\-API based extension  

**Why** would you want to have a **Python C\+\+\-extension** in the first place?  

The answer is quite simple: **Performance**\.  

Although you can achieve improved performance using [Cython](http://cython.org/), you can never beat **C/C\+\+ level performance**\.  

  

## About this template  

### Introduction  

This template provides a very basic Python extension written in C/C\+\+\.  

The extension module "*template*" contains a function "*test*" and a class "*example\_class*"\.  

The "*example\_class*" has a single member "*value*" \(of type double => float\),  and supports a lot of operations\.  

It also shows how to import a module \("math\.pi" in this case\)\.
