You can then open a Python shell in the output directory and you'll be able to run `import your_module`. You can then open a Python shell in the output directory and you'll be able to run `import your_module`.
If you're packaging your library for redistribution, you should indicated the Python interpreter your library is compiled for by including the [platform tag](#platform-tags) in its name. This prevents incompatible interpreters from trying to import your library. If you're compiling for PyPy you *must* include the platform tag, or PyPy will ignore the module.
See, as an example, Bazel rules to build PyO3 on Linux at https://github.com/TheButlah/rules_pyo3. See, as an example, Bazel rules to build PyO3 on Linux at https://github.com/TheButlah/rules_pyo3.
#### Platform tags
Rather than using just the `.so` or `.pyd` extension suggested above (depending on OS), uou can prefix the shared library extension with a platform tag to indicate the interpreter it is compatible with. You can query your interpreter's platform tag from the `sysconfig` module. Some example outputs of this are seen below:
```bash
# CPython 3.10 on macOS
.cpython-310-darwin.so
# PyPy 7.3 (Python 3.8) on Linux
$ python -c 'import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_config_var("EXT_SUFFIX"))'
.pypy38-pp73-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
```
So, for example, a valid module library name on CPython 3.10 for macOS is `your_module.cpython-310-darwin.so`, and its equivalent when compiled for PyPy 7.3 on Linux would be `your_module.pypy38-pp73-x86_64-linux-gnu.so`.
See [PEP 3149](https://peps.python.org/pep-3149/) for more background on platform tags.
#### macOS #### macOS
On macOS, because the `extension-module` feature disables linking to `libpython` ([see the next section](#the-extension-module-feature)), some additional linker arguments need to be set. `maturin` and `setuptools-rust` both pass these arguments for PyO3 automatically, but projects using manual builds will need to set these directly in order to support macOS.
