HN comment orderWith PyO3, I built the library to parse datetimes 10x faster than `datetime.strptime` in just a few lines of code: https://github.com/gukoff/dtparse It just calls the Rust's chrono library that does the parsing and wraps the result in a Python object. You can do it for any Rust library, it's very, very easy! The only slightly complicated part is the distribution. You need to use https://github.com/PyO3/maturin or https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust, and of course, you need to have Rust installed on the…
I also wrote asyncio event loop, based on tokio-rs, using this binding. So it is possible to write complex python extensions in Rust. https://github.com/PyO3/tokio
Many thanks to Nikolay for authoring it!
Long time user of PyO3 and partially as contributor/maintainer. This framework is pretty much amazing. We used it heavily to optimize workloads in a safe and maintainable manner and can help you oxidize Python code bases
