  • How does Rust Python ffi work?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 10 May 2022
    I've never used pyo3, just cpython, but the latter at least let me do things like:
  • Announcing Rust 1.59.0
    1 project | /r/programming | 24 Feb 2022
    And don't forget https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython to complete the circle
  • Hey, i begin my journey into Rust !
    7 projects | /r/rust | 16 Feb 2022
    For interoperating with Python, check out PyO3 or rust-cpython. (More generally, see Rust Interop and Are We Extending Yet?)
  • Should I learn Rust coming from Python?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 27 Nov 2021
    You probably should learn Rust. Aside from the process of learning new and different languages making you a better programmer, rust-cpython, PyO3, or Interoptopus make it easy to expose Python APIs from your Rust code. (eg. So it's easy to compile the same codebase as both a Python module and a WebAssembly module.)
  • What do you NOT like about Rust?
    18 projects | /r/rust | 21 Nov 2021
    Have you looked into abi_stable, flapigen, interoptopus, cbindgen, PyO3, or rust-cpython?
  • Strengths and applications of Rust
    5 projects | /r/rust | 6 Nov 2021
    Personally, I'm not willing to compromise on my GUI look and feel, so I use PyQt or PySide to write my GUIs against the QWidget API (I'm a KDE user and Python is the only language with mature memory-safe bindings to Qt) and, if the project can be structured with a frontend-backend separation, I use rust-cpython or PyO3 to write a backend in Rust that the Python frontend can import. Sort of using Python/Rust as a QWidget analogue to the QML/C++ architecture promoted for Qt Quick. (Which I don't use because it's still too incomplete on Kubuntu 20.04 LTS.)
  • From Python to Rust, should I?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 2 Nov 2021
    also, check out rust-cpython, PyO3, and maturin, among other things. They're really nice options for using Rust for its strengths and Python for its strengths within the same project.
  • How we built our Python Client that's mostly Rust
    4 projects | dev.to | 27 Aug 2021
    This section uses flapigen to expand the foreign_class macro into many cpython functions as an extension module, and cargo compiles it as a cdylib. If you want to see what that looks like, install cargo-expand and run cargo expand. You'll get a lot of generated rust code.
  • How do i go about building a vidoe conferencing app?
    10 projects | /r/rust | 20 Aug 2021
    For Python specifically, In addition to using rust-cpython or PyO3, maturin makes it really comfortable to build, package, and publish Rust code into Python packages and, if your niche doesn't quite fit, there's setuptools-python which might do it.
  • Does rust have function works like eval?
    9 projects | /r/rust | 19 Aug 2021
    hlua or rlua are what you want for Lua, rust-cpython or PyO3 for Python, rutie for Ruby, and possibly deno_core for JavaScript.

  • Disable Racer and eldoc?
    1 project | /r/DoomEmacs | 5 Feb 2022
    I recently have decided to switch to it full time, and I've encountered some annoyances while developing in Rust in it. The default rust setup uses eldoc combined with racer, which has been deprecated for a while now, for auto completion and stuff like that.
  • rust-analyzer changelog #113
    4 projects | /r/rust | 17 Jan 2022
    On the server side, things are better, but RLS is still using racer for completions, which was never quite precise for me, and has a big disclaimer of "use rust-analyzer instead" in the README.
