SWIG Python Distributions

A project that packages SWIG as a Python package, enabling swig to be installed from PyPI:

pip install swig

or used as part of build-system.requires in a pyproject.toml file:

[build-system]
requires = ["swig"]

PyPI package versions will follow the major.minor.patch version numbers of SWIG releases.

Binary wheels for Windows, macOS, and Linux for most CPU architectures supported on PyPI are provided. ARM wheels for Raspberry Pi available at https://www.piwheels.org/project/swig/.

Installing SWIG

SWIG can be installed by pip with:

pip install swig

or:

python -m pip install swig

Building from the source dist package requires internet access in order to download a copy of the SWIG source code.

Using with pipx

Using pipx run swig <args> will run SWIG without any install step, as long as the machine has pipx installed (which includes GitHub Actions runners).

Using with pyproject.toml

SWIG can be added to the build-system.requires key in a pyproject.toml file for building Python extensions that use SWIG to generate bindings.

requires = ["swig"]
