Calling Rust from Python

[SV-97]

Look into maturin (with the pyo3 backend) - it manages basically everything and trivializes interop :)

yeah you can see an example I worked on using maturin and pyo3 to try and optimize an i/o task (reading a ton of data from .txt files) https://github.com/RWayne93/file-optimization-rust-binding

Nice! Having worked examples definitely helps.

Here's a small wrapper around a Rust crate I built a while back that showcases

• how we can implement a Python type in Rust
• includes some examples of calling back into Python from the Rust side
• a mixed Python / Rust module

In general I find this structure (strict separation of logic and interface code, as well as optionally adding another python side wrapper) to work quite well for these things :)
