python3-llvmlite (Lightweight LLVM python binding) llvmlite is a project originally tailored for Numba's needs, using the following approach: -A small C wrapper around the parts of the LLVM C++ API we need that are not already exposed by the LLVM C API. -A ctypes Python wrapper around the C API. -A pure Python implementation of the subset of the LLVM IR builder that we need for Numba. NOTE: Unable to support newer versions than 0.40.1 due to requiring a newer LLVM than included in Slackware (needs >= 14.0).
