Building with cppimport
========================
cppimport is a small Python import hook that determines whether there is a C++
source file whose name matches the requested module. If there is, the file is
compiled as a Python extension using pybind11 and placed in the same folder as
the C++ source file. Python is then able to find the module and load it.

CMake doesn't detect the right Python version, or it finds mismatched interpreter and library versions
======================================================================================================
The Python detection logic of CMake is flawed and can sometimes fail to find
the desired Python version, or it chooses mismatched interpreter and library
versions. A longer discussion is available on the pybind11 issue tracker
[#f1]_, though this is ultimately not a pybind11 issue.
To force the build system to choose a particular version, delete CMakeCache.txt
and then invoke CMake as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=<...> \
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=<...> \
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=<...> .
