Python

It was programmed with 3.10.4. And I used some 3.10 Python expression. Thus you might get problems with older Python versions.

C++

It works without compiling the C++ modules. However it is 10x slower.
You need to modify the Makefile in the C++ directory to your Python installation.
In addition yoir Python installation needs the PyBind11 package installed. You might want to perform a
pip install pybind11
The Makefile uses clang as a compiler. If you want something else then you need to change the Makefile.
