An example of a Rust library that is embeddable in Python.

Getting setup

Insure the following dependencies are in place:

• Rust v1.34+ (nightly)
  • Install using rustup toolchain install nightly
• Python dependencies
  • Python 3 Development headers apt install python3-dev
  • pipenv pip install --user pipenv

Running the Python example

1. Build the rust crate first: cargo build
2. Install dependencies and run in a virtualenv: pipenv install && pipenv shell
3. Create the Python package with: maturin build
4. Run the Python tests: pytest test.py batch_test.py
5. Run the Rust test: cargo test --no-default-features
