RustPython

A Python Interpreter written in Rust 🐍 😱 🤘.

Usage

To test RustPython, do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
$ cd RustPython
$ cargo run demo.py
Hello, RustPython!

Or use the interactive shell:

$ cargo run
Welcome to rustpython
>>>>> 2+2

Goals

• Full python environment entirely in Rust (not CPython bindings)
• A clean implementation without compatibility hacks

Code organization

• parser: python lexing, parsing and ast
• vm: python virtual machine
• src: using the other subcrates to bring rustpython to life.
• docs: documentation (work in progress)
• py_code_object: CPython bytecode to rustpython bytecode convertor (work in progress)
• tests: integration test snippets

Contributing

To start contributing, there are a lot of things that need to be done. Most tasks are listed in the issue tracker. Another approach is to checkout the sourcecode, and try out rustpython until you hit a limitation, and try to fix that.

Testing

To test rustpython, there is a collection of python snippets located in the tests/snippets directory. To run those tests do the following:

$ cd tests
$ pipenv shell
$ pytest -v

There also are some unittests, you can run those will cargo:

$ cargo test --all

Code style

The code style used is the default rustfmt codestyle. Please format your code accordingly.
