numpy.get_include#
- numpy.get_include()[source]#
Return the directory that contains the NumPy *.h header files.
Extension modules that need to compile against NumPy may need to use this function to locate the appropriate include directory.
Notes
When using
setuptools
, for example insetup.py
:import numpy as np ... Extension('extension_name', ... include_dirs=[np.get_include()]) ...
Note that a CLI tool
numpy-config
was introduced in NumPy 2.0, using that is likely preferred for build systems other thansetuptools
:$ numpy-config --cflags -I/path/to/site-packages/numpy/_core/include # Or rely on pkg-config: $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(numpy-config --pkgconfigdir) $ pkg-config --cflags -I/path/to/site-packages/numpy/_core/include
