# Building and installing Python bindings
|
|
|
|
Python bindings are available as wheels on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/google-benchmark/) 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 3.8 - 3.12.
|
|
|
|
To install Google Benchmark's Python bindings, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)
|
|
on how to create virtual environments.
|
|
|
|
To build a wheel directly from source, you can follow these steps:
|
|
```bash
|
|
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 build
|
|
# builds the wheel and stores it in the directory "dist".
|
|
python -m build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NB: Building wheels from source requires Bazel. For platform-specific instructions on how to install Bazel,
|
|
refer to the [Bazel installation docs](https://bazel.build/install).
