Rust and python bindings

#python #rust

I - Install pip package 

pip install maturin
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

II - Create project 

maturin new --bindings pyo3 --mixed name_project
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

III - Create rust lib

Create in src matrix.rs with your code like this

use rand::Rng; pub fn generate_matrix() -> Vec<Vec<i32>> { let mut matrix = vec![]; for _ in 0..10 { let mut row = vec![]; for _ in 0..10 { row.push(rand::thread_rng().gen_range(0..100)); } matrix.push(row); } matrix }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In src/lib.rs add your code like this :

mod matrix; #[pyfunction] fn random_matrix() -> Vec<Vec<i32>> { matrix::generate_matrix() }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And functions in the python module like this :

#[pymodule] fn my_project(m: &Bound<'_, PyModule>) -> PyResult<()> { m.add_function(wrap_pyfunction!(random_matrix, m)?)?; Ok(()) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

IV - Compile 

maturin build && pip install .
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

V - Test

In python/name_project/test/ for exemple, create one file with this and run it.

import my_project matrix = my_project.random_matrix() print(matrix)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
