Research direction

Start with the invoke build-cython entry point and python-bindings/overview_article/tasks.py around line 132, then compare the hard-coded include paths with the Windows compiler error shown in the issue. Done means the example's Cython build completes on Windows with the Python and pybind11 paths resolved.

Description

Hello everyone, and thanks for this great material.
I am trying to use cython to import a C++ library in Python.
I followed the instructions in Python Bindings: Calling C or C++ From Python, but I have a problem.
Everything is fine till I run "invoke build-cython"
The g++ cannot find the path for python and pybind11 directory. The error is:
Issue1

I guess the line ""-I /usr/include/python3.7 -I . "" in tasks.py file (line 132) does not work for me. Am I right? (is it because I'm using Windows?)
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance.
Vahid.
