About:
nanobind is a lightweight binding library that allows for seamless interoperability between C++11 and Python. It provides a simple and efficient API for creating Python bindings for C++ code, with a focus on performance and minimal overhead. The library leverages modern C++ features to reduce boilerplate and improve binding generation speed.
Key Features:
  • Minimal overhead and fast compilation times
  • Support for NumPy arrays and Eigen types
  • Header-only library design
  • Superior performance compared to pybind11
Use Cases:
  • Creating high-performance Python extensions for C++ libraries
  • Binding scientific computing libraries for Python access
  • Migrating existing C++ codebases to Python interfaces
Alternatives:
  • pybind11 – nanobind is a spiritual successor that offers significantly faster compilation and reduced binary size.
  • Cython – Cython uses a Python-like syntax and requires a compilation step, whereas nanobind uses pure C++.
