#### Bindings (Python, etc)
121+
MLX42 currently has a [Python FFI binding](./ffi/python/README.md) available.
122+
In order to get it working you need to build the library first as shown above.
123+
The only change is that you need to enable the option `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` when building with cmake:
124+
```bash
125+
cmake -B build -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON && cmake --build build --parallel
126+
```

# Python Bindings for MLX42
2+
3+
This directory contains Python bindings for the MLX42 graphics library, allowing you to use MLX42 functionalities in Python applications (using ^=3.13).
4+
5+
## Building
6+
7+
```bash
8+
git clone https://github.com/codam-coding-college/MLX42.git
9+
cd MLX42
10+
cmake -B build -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON && cmake --build build --parallel
11+
```
12+
13+
Within MLX42's root directory, there is an example script located at `ffi/python/example.py`.
14+
You can run this script to see how to use the Python bindings:
15+
16+
In case you have a static library (`libmlx42.a`), you can create a shared library from it using `clang` or `gcc`:
17+
```bash
18+
clang -shared -o libmlx42.so libmlx42.a
19+
```
20+
21+
Afterwards, place the shared library in the `ffi/python/` directory:
22+
```bash
23+
# You can also move the shared library onto a system path
24+
mv build/libmlx42.so ffi/python/libmlx42.so
25+
cd ffi/python
26+
python3 example.py
27+
```
28+
29+
