CereStim SWIG Wrapper

This contains a SWIG wrapper for Blackrock Microsystems CereStim API.

Downloads

Head to the releases page to see if there is a release for you.

Build

If there isn't a pre-made release for you, you can build it yourself. Blackrock only provides binaries for Windows x64 and Windows x86, so you can only target those platforms.

Prerequisites

• SWIG. Download swigwin and extract the archive.
• CereStim API (scroll down on support page)
  • Copy the extracted folder into this directory (i.e. CereStimWrapper\CereStim-API)
• Python
• A compiler (I think it should match your Python version's compiler)

Build & Install

1. Open this directory in command prompt. (probably x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019)
2. Make sure swig.exe is on your PATH.
   • via system environment variables
   • via command prompt, e.g: set PATH=%PATH%;%HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\swigwin-4.2.1\swigwin-4.2.1
3. May need to set PYTHON_INCLUDE and PYTHON_LIB
4. swig -c++ -python -I"CereStim-API/Binaries/" cerestim/cerestim.i
5. Switch to your Anaconda Prompt, activate an appropriate environment, and cd to this directory.
6. pip install . or pip wheel . to build only the wheel.

Usage

The compiled module can be imported directly. Read the Blackrock-provided documentation for more information on the API

import cerestim
