Migrating from C++ Extensions

Replace hand-written C++ with compiled Python.

Published May 30, 2026

Motivation

Maintaining C++ extensions is expensive. Pyvorin can compile equivalent Python.

Step 1: Document C++ Logic

Understand what the extension does.

Step 2: Rewrite in Python

Write the equivalent pure Python function.

Step 3: Compile and Benchmark

pyvorin compile replacement.py --function new_impl

Step 4: A/B Test

Compare C++ extension vs compiled Python for correctness and performance.
