How to allow c printf to print in ipython notebook in cython cell?

问题

%%cython
from libc.stdio cimport printf
def test():
    printf('abc')

If I run test(), it doesn't print anything.

Currently I am doing something stupid as:

cdef char s[80]
sprintf(s, 'something')
print s

What's a better way to use printf in cython? Why doesn't it print?

回答1:

You can use the wurlitzer package to capture C-level stdout / stderr and redirect it to IPython.

For example, include the following code blocks in your Jupyter notebook:

%load_ext Cython
%load_ext wurlitzer

%%cython
from libc.stdio cimport printf
def test():
    printf('abc')

test()
# prints "abc"

Output will be printed in your terminal (console) running Jupyter notebook. not sure how to display it in Jupyter though.
