How to modify the output name?

[zizhang-qiu]

I have a module named rl_cpp, and this is the cmakelist:

pybind11_add_module(rl_cpp SHARED pybind.cc)
set_target_properties(rl_cpp PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "rl_cpp")

The output file's name is still rl_cpp.cp38-win_amd64.pyd, is the part ".cp38-win_amd64" unchangeable? I want the file name to be "rl_cpp.pyd". Are there any methods?

Hello!
I know I'm responding to this quite late, but I've recently had the same problem, but after some digging I got this to work.
What worked for me was using the Python_add_library function istead of pybind11_add_module.

You can try this:

find_package(Python COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)

Python_add_library(rl_cpp pybind.cc)
target_link_libraries(rl_cpp PRIVATE pybind11::headers)
set_target_properties(rl_cpp PROPERTIES
                                INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION ON
                                CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET ON
                                VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN ON
                                OUTPUT_NAME rl_cpp)

Here is the result on my pc:
