A guide on using C++ code in jupyterlite with pybind11

This document is meant to guide you through the process of integrating C++ into jupyterlite. This includes the usage of pybind11, setuptools, emscripten/pyodide and jupyterlite itself. There should be a way to integrate CMake as well. However, using setuptools solves a bug where emcmake fails to find pybind’s cmake files.

The idea is to create the following:

• Homepage
• Part 1: C++
  • Compiling with scikit-build-core
  • Compiling with pure setuptools
  • Pyodide
• Part 2: jupyterlite
  • Preparing jupyterlite
  • Build and deploy
  • Embedding the notebook
