With the popularity and success of the python programming language, it has become increasingly important for researches to be able to make software developments available to the python eco-system by means of extension packages. To this end, the [Pybind11](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11) library provides a convenient approach to generate python bindings of existing C++ code. In this context, the [sciki-build](https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build) project can be used to bridge python's `setuptools` with [CMake](https://cmake.org/). As a resuls, CMake's features such as, e.g., choice of build-generators, dependency management or cross-compilation, can be exploited from within the installation process of the developed python extension.
