[Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org/) bindings for [Python](https://www.python.org/). This includes running and interacting with python code from a rust binaries as well as writing native python modules.

A comparison with rust-cpython can be found [in the guide](https://pyo3.rs/master/rust-cpython.html).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Pyo3 supports python 2.7 as well as python 3.5 and up. The minimum required rust version is 1.30.0-nightly 2018-08-18.
|
|
|
|
You can either write a native python module in rust or use python from a rust binary.
|
|
|
|
## Using rust from python
|
|
|
|
Pyo3 can be used to generate a native python module.
|
|
|
|
**`Cargo.toml`:**
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[package]
|
|
name = "string-sum"
|
|
version = "0.1.0"
|
|
|
|
[lib]
|
|
name = "string_sum"
|
|
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
|
|
|
|
[dependencies.pyo3]
|
|
version = "0.4"
|
|
features = ["extension-module"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**`src/lib.rs`**
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
#![feature(specialization)]
|
|
|
|
#[macro_use]
|
|
extern crate pyo3;
|
|
|
|
use pyo3::prelude::*;
|
|
|
|
#[pyfunction]
|
|
/// Formats the sum of two numbers as string
|
|
fn sum_as_string(a: usize, b: usize) -> PyResult<String> {
|
|
Ok((a + b).to_string())
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/// This module is a python module implemented in Rust.
|
|
#[pymodinit]
|
|
fn string_sum(py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
|
|
m.add_function(wrap_function!(sum_as_string))?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On windows and linux, you can build normally with `cargo build --release`. On macOS, you need to set additional linker arguments. One option is to compile with `cargo rustc --release -- -C link-arg=-undefined -C link-arg=dynamic_lookup`, the other is to create a `.cargo/config` with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
|
|
rustflags = [
|
|
"-C", "link-arg=-undefined",
|
|
"-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup",
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For developing, you can copy and rename the shared library from the target folder: On macOS, rename `libstring_sum.dylib` to `string_sum.so`, on windows `libstring_sum.dll` to `string_sum.pyd` and on linux `libstring_sum.so` to `libstring_sum.so`. Then open a python shell in the same folder and you'll be able to `import string_sum`.
|
|
|
|
To build, test and publish your crate as python module, you can use [pyo3-pack](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3-pack) or [setuptools-rust](https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust). You can find an example for setuptools-rust in [examples/word-count](examples/word-count), while pyo3-pack should work on your crate without any configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Using python from rust
|
|
|
|
Add `pyo3` this to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
pyo3 = "0.4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example program displaying the value of `sys.version`:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
#![feature(specialization)]
|
|
|
|
extern crate pyo3;
|
|
|
|
use pyo3::prelude::*;
|
|
use pyo3::types::PyDict;
|
|
|
|
fn main() -> PyResult<()> {
|
|
let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
|
|
let py = gil.python();
|
|
let sys = py.import("sys")?;
|
|
let version: String = sys.get("version")?.extract()?;
|
|
|
|
let locals = PyDict::new(py);
|
|
locals.set_item("os", py.import("os")?)?;
|
|
let user: String = py.eval("os.getenv('USER') or os.getenv('USERNAME')", None, Some(&locals))?.extract()?;
|
|
|
|
println!("Hello {}, I'm Python {}", user, version);
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
