semiwrap is a build tool that makes it simpler to wrap C/C++ libraries with pybind11 by automating large portions of the wrapping process and handling some of the more complex aspects of creating pybind11 based wrappers (especially with trampolines to allow inheriting from C++ classes from Python).

semiwrap includes a hatchling plugin that autogenerates meson.build files that can be built using meson, and those build files parse your wrapped headers and generate/compile pybind11 based wrappers into python extension modules.

Requires Python 3.8+

Semiwrap is a direct decendant of the robotpy-build project, and is culmination of many years of experimentation with automated wrapper generation by members of the RobotPy community.
