Access files generated in the backend

I'm a beginner. I started exploring Pythran and Transonic a few days back. I learned that Pythran generates a C++ file from the Python input file. I want to read those C++ generated files in the backend.

Do anyone of you have any idea about accessing files generated in the backend?

I'm implementing Pythran using Transonic's support.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Have you tried running pythran with the --help option?

    ...
optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -o OUTPUT_FILE       path to generated file. Honors %{ext}.
  -P                   only run the high-level optimizer, do not compile
  -E                   only run the translator, do not compile
...

    So, the answer is: use the -E option

    pythran my_python_file.py -E
