This PR migrates the Python bindings for
zxingcpp
frompybind11
tonanobind
.Key Benefits:
Enhanced IDE Support (Autocompletion & Type Hinting):
The primary driver for this change is
nanobind
's straightforward support for generating stub files (.pyi
). These stubs enable autocompletion and type hinting in IDEs, significantly improving the development experience when using thezxingcpp
library.Smaller Binary Sizes
Faster Compilation Times
Important Structural Change:
nanobind
's typical project structure, thezxingcpp
Python extension has been refactored from a single-file module (e.g.,zxingcpp.pyd
orzxingcpp.so
) into a Python package (a directory namedzxingcpp
containing an__init__.py
and the compiled extension module).
