[Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org/) bindings for [Python](https://www.python.org/). This includes running and interacting with Python code from a Rust binary, as well as writing native Python modules.
* User Guide: [stable](https://pyo3.rs) | [master](https://pyo3.rs/master)
* API Documentation: [master](https://pyo3.rs/master/doc)
A comparison with rust-cpython can be found [in the guide](https://pyo3.rs/master/rust_cpython.html).
## Usage
PyO3 supports Python 3.5 and up. The minimum required Rust version is 1.34.0-nightly 2019-02-06.
PyPy is also supported (via cpyext) for Python 3.5 only, targeted PyPy version is 7.0.0.
Please refer to the guide for installation instruction against PyPy.
You can either write a native Python module in Rust, or use Python from a Rust binary.
However, on some OSs, you need some additional packages. E.g. if you are on *Ubuntu 18.04*, please run
```bash
sudo apt install python3-dev python-dev
```
## 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"
edition = "2018"
[lib]
name = "string_sum"
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
[dependencies.pyo3]
version = "0.7.0"
features = ["extension-module"]
```
**`src/lib.rs`**
```rust
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::wrap_pyfunction;
#[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.
#[pymodule]
fn string_sum(py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
m.add_wrapped(wrap_pyfunction!(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 `string_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 a 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` to your `Cargo.toml` like this:
```toml
[dependencies]
pyo3 = "0.7.0"
```
Example program displaying the value of `sys.version` and the current user name:
```rust
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::IntoPyDict;
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 = [("os", py.import("os")?)].into_py_dict(py);
let code = "os.getenv('USER') or os.getenv('USERNAME') or 'Unknown'";
let user: String = py.eval(code, None, Some(&locals))?.extract()?;
println!("Hello {}, I'm Python {}", user, version);
Ok(())
}
```
