Python Wrapper Workflow

This tutorial runs the Cython wrapper and verifies that the extension can import, configure a model, run the C core, and clean up.

1. Build and install the wrapper:

   make PYTHON=python3 all
   

2. Run the documented example:

   python3 docs/examples/python_wrapper.py
   

3. Inspect the used-values file:

   cat Output_python_example/wlcovpy_param.txt-usedvalues
   

Run the example from the repository root because it uses short relative paths for clsfile and rootDir. The current C output-directory helper expects relative output paths without embedded / characters.

The wrapper returns CPU time from Run. The final radial integral is available through model.getIntegral() before clean_all releases the C state.
