## Usage
|
|
|
|
PyO3 supports the following software versions:
|
|
- Python 3.6 and up (CPython and PyPy)
|
|
- Rust 1.41 and up
|
|
|
|
You can use PyO3 to write a native Python module in Rust, or to embed Python in a Rust binary. The following sections explain each of these in turn.
|
|
|
|
### Using Rust from Python
|
|
|
|
PyO3 can be used to generate a native Python module. The easiest way to try this out for the first time is to use [`maturin`](https://github.com/PyO3/maturin). `maturin` is a tool for building and publishing Rust-based Python packages with minimal configuration. The following steps set up some files for an example Python module, install `maturin`, and then show how build and import the Python module.
|
|
|
|
First, create a new folder (let's call it `string_sum`) containing the following two files:
|
|
|
|
**`Cargo.toml`**
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[package]
|
|
name = "string-sum"
|
|
version = "0.1.0"
|
|
edition = "2018"
|
|
|
|
[lib]
|
|
name = "string_sum"
|
|
# "cdylib" is necessary to produce a shared library for Python to import from.
|
|
#
|
|
# Downstream Rust code (including code in `bin/`, `examples/`, and `tests/`) will not be able
|
|
# to `use string_sum;` unless the "rlib" or "lib" crate type is also included, e.g.:
|
|
# crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"]
|
|
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
|
|
|
|
[dependencies.pyo3]
|
|
version = "0.14.4"
|
|
features = ["extension-module"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**`src/lib.rs`**
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use pyo3::prelude::*;
|
|
|
|
/// Formats the sum of two numbers as string.
|
|
#[pyfunction]
|
|
fn sum_as_string(a: usize, b: usize) -> PyResult<String> {
|
|
Ok((a + b).to_string())
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/// A Python module implemented in Rust. The name of this function must match
|
|
/// the `lib.name` setting in the `Cargo.toml`, else Python will not be able to
|
|
/// import the module.
|
|
#[pymodule]
|
|
fn string_sum(_py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
|
|
m.add_function(wrap_pyfunction!(sum_as_string, m)?)?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With those two files in place, now `maturin` needs to be installed. This can be done using Python's package manager `pip`. First, load up a new Python `virtualenv`, and install `maturin` into it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd string_sum
|
|
$ python -m venv .env
|
|
$ source .env/bin/activate
|
|
$ pip install maturin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now build and execute the module:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ maturin develop
|
|
# lots of progress output as maturin runs the compilation...
|
|
$ python
|
|
>>> import string_sum
|
|
>>> string_sum.sum_as_string(5, 20)
|
|
'25'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As well as with `maturin`, it is possible to build using [`setuptools-rust`](https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust) or [manually](https://pyo3.rs/latest/building_and_distribution.html#manual-builds). Both offer more flexibility than `maturin` but require further configuration.
|
|
|
|
### Using Python from Rust
|
|
|
|
To embed Python into a Rust binary, you need to ensure that your Python installation contains a shared library. The following steps demonstrate how to ensure this (for Ubuntu), and then give some example code which runs an embedded Python interpreter.
|
|
|
|
To install the Python shared library on Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install python3-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start a new project with `cargo new` and add `pyo3` to the `Cargo.toml` like this:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies.pyo3]
|
|
version = "0.14.4"
|
|
features = ["auto-initialize"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example program displaying the value of `sys.version` and the current user name:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use pyo3::prelude::*;
|
|
use pyo3::types::IntoPyDict;
|
|
|
|
fn main() -> PyResult<()> {
|
|
Python::with_gil(|py| {
|
|
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(())
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
