Pybind11 is a lightweight, header‑only C++ library that simplifies and streamlines creating Python bindings for C++11+ code. It uses template meta-programming to automatically infer types, minimizing boilerplate compared to Boost.Python, and works seamlessly with major build systems

Features

  • Header-only, zero-dependency C++11 library
  • Minimal boilerplate for binding functions and classes
  • Automatic type conversion via compile-time introspection
  • Supports CMake, pip, conda installation methods
  • Has numerous plugin adapters (e.g., Abseil, JSON)
  • Cross-platform with active maintenance
