rust-cpython [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dgrunwald/rust-cpython.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dgrunwald/rust-cpython)
====================
[Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org/) bindings for the [python](https://www.python.org/) interpreter.
* [Documentation](http://dgrunwald.github.io/rust-cpython/doc/cpython/)
* Cargo package: [cpython](https://crates.io/crates/cpython)

* Rust 1.7.0 or later
# Usage
To use `cpython`, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
cpython = { git = "https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython.git" }
```
Example program displaying the value of `sys.version`:
```rust
extern crate cpython;
use cpython::Python;
use cpython::ObjectProtocol; //for call method
fn main() {
let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
let py = gil.python();
let sys = py.import("sys").unwrap();
let version: String = sys.get(py, "version").unwrap().extract(py).unwrap();
let os = py.import("os").unwrap();
let getenv = os.get(py, "getenv").unwrap();
let user: String = getenv.call(py, ("USER",), None).unwrap().extract(py).unwrap();
println!("Hello {}, I'm Python {}", user, version);
}
```
Example library with python bindings:
The following two files will build with `cargo build`, and will generate a python-compatible library. (On macOS, you will need to rename the output from \*.dynlib to \*.so)
**`Cargo.toml`:**
```toml
[lib]
name = "rust2py"
crate-type = ["dylib"]
[dependencies]
cpython = { git = "https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython.git" }
```
**`src/lib.rs`**
```rust
#[macro_use] extern crate cpython;
use cpython::{PyResult, Python};
// add bindings to the generated python module
// N.B: names: "rust2py" must be the lib name in Cargo.toml
py_module_initializer!(librust2py, initlibrust2py, PyInit_librust2py, |py, m| {
try!(m.add(py, "__doc__", "This module is implemented in Rust."));
try!(m.add(py, "sum_as_string", py_fn!(py, sum_as_string_py(a: i64, b:i64))));
Ok(())
});
// logic implemented as a normal rust function
fn sum_as_string(a:i64, b:i64) -> String {
format!("{}", a + b).to_string()
}
// rust-cpython aware function. All of our python interface could be
// declared in a separate module.
fn sum_as_string_py(_: Python, a:i64, b:i64) -> PyResult<String> {
let out = sum_as_string(a, b);
Ok(out)
}
```
