Building and installing Python bindings
Python bindings are available as wheels on PyPI for importing and using Google Benchmark directly in Python. Currently, pre-built wheels exist for macOS (both ARM64 and Intel x86), Linux x86-64 and 64-bit Windows. Supported Python versions are Python 3.7 - 3.10.
To install Google Benchmark's Python bindings, run:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip # for manylinux2014 support
python -m pip install google-benchmark
In order to keep your system Python interpreter clean, it is advisable to run these commands in a virtual environment. See the official Python documentation on how to create virtual environments.
To build a wheel directly from source, you can follow these steps:
git clone https://github.com/google/benchmark.git
cd benchmark
# create a virtual environment and activate it
python3 -m venv venv --system-site-packages
source venv/bin/activate # .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 on Windows
# upgrade Python's system-wide packages
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
# builds the wheel and stores it in the directory "wheelhouse".
python -m pip wheel . -w wheelhouse
NB: Building wheels from source requires Bazel. For platform-specific instructions on how to install Bazel, refer to the Bazel installation docs.
