What is a PXI file?

PXI files mostly belong to Cython.

PXI files come in two primary types. The most common type is used as a Cython include file. These files hold source code segments that can be embedded in larger Cython projects to enhance performance and modularity. For example, a developer might integrate a .pxi file into a Cython module to share common definitions or macros. You can learn more on the Cython website.

The second type is known as a Presenter XML Interactive file. This usage appears in systems like Proloquo2Go for designing interactive user interfaces. In this configuration, the .pxi file stores XML-based layout and interactive element information used by the Prototyper user interface. Additional details are provided at the Proloquo2Go page.

Key points summarized by FilExt.com:

  • These are text-based files.
  • If the file is Cython-related, open it in an IDE or text editor that supports syntax highlighting for Python/Cython.
  • For UI-related .pxi files, an XML editor or the native Proloquo2Go tool may be required.

How to open a PXI file

You need a suitable software like Cython to open a PXI file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your PXI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PXI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

a pxi source code file is a special file format and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with PXI files

  • Associate the PXI file extension with the correct application.
  • Update your software that should actually open source code files. Because only the current version supports the latest PXI file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Cython update.
  • To make sure that your PXI file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
