Rust Extensions for a Faster Neo4j Bolt Driver for Python

Rust Extensions for a Faster Neo4j Bolt Driver for Python

This project contains Rust extensions to speed up the official Python driver for Neo4j.

IMPORTANT
This project is currently in beta phase.

Installation

Adjust your dependencies (requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or similar) like so:

# remove:
# neo4j == X.Y.Z  # needs to be at least 5.14.1 for a matching Rust extension to exist
# add:
neo4j-rust-ext == X.Y.Z.*

I.e., install the same version of neo4j-rust-ext as you would install of neo4j (except for the last segment which is used for patches of this library).
That's it! You don't have to change your code but can use the driver as you normally would. This package will install the driver as its dependency and then inject itself in a place where the driver can find it and pick it up.

Requirements

For many operating systems and architectures, the pre-built wheels will work out of the box. If they don't, pip (or any other Python packaging front-end) will try to build the extension from source. Here's what you'll need for this:

• Rust 1.65.0 or later:
  https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
• Further build tools (depending on the platform).
  E.g., gcc on Ubuntu: sudo apt install gcc
