Migrating from C++ Extensions
May 30, 2026 | 5 min read
Motivation
Maintaining C++ extensions is expensive. Pyvorin can compile equivalent Python.
Step 1: Document C++ Logic
Understand what the extension does.
Step 2: Rewrite in Python
Write the equivalent pure Python function.
Step 3: Compile and Benchmark
pyvorin compile replacement.py --function new_impl
Step 4: A/B Test
Compare C++ extension vs compiled Python for correctness and performance.
