This repository explores the integration of Rust into Python applications, demonstrating how both languages can work together effectively. It includes examples and tests to assess real-world use cases and performance benefits.

setup steps

to setup your own python-rust project

1. python -m venv .venv
2. activate the venv
3. pip install maturin (build system for building and publishing rust crates as python packages)
4. maturin init & select --> pyo3
5. create the folder in the root directory where all the python files will be kept e.g. src-py
6. create a python file in the python directory e.g. src-py\example_import_rust_function.py
7. import the function, with the rust #[pymodule] attribute, that is located in the src\lib.rs file e.g. example
8. then run maturin develop --release (which builds the lib.rs file and installs it as a package in the .venv)
9. then run the python file with the imported rust functions e.g. python [python file you created in step 6]
