uv add nimlang
Use Nim in a Python project with nothing but uv.
nimlang is a Python package that ships the Nim compiler in its wheels and compiles C through
zig cc from the ziglang package, so you need no system
Nim and no C compiler.
Status: early scaffold, not on PyPI yet. See docs/design.md for what works and what is planned.
Use Nim in your project
uv add nimlang
uv run nim c -r hello.nim # nim and nimble live in your venv
uv run nimlang add nimpy # tracked in [tool.nimlang] in pyproject.toml
uv run nimlang build-ext fast.nim # build a nimpy extension module next to fast.nim
uv run nimlang info # bundled Nim version and where everything lives
Ship Nim code in a Python package
[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling", "nimlang"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"
[tool.hatch.build.hooks.nimlang]
extensions = ["src/mypkg/nimcore.nim"] # importable as mypkg.nimcore
binaries = ["src/mypkg/mytool.nim"] # installed as the `mytool` command
[tool.nimlang]
dependencies = ["nimpy"]
uv build produces a py3-none-<platform> wheel that works on every CPython 3 version.
On Linux it is manylinux-compliant out of the box, and NIMLANG_TARGET=aarch64-macos uv build
cross-builds for other platforms. See examples/hello-nim.
Building nimlang wheels
python scripts/make_wheels.py --nim-dist nim-2.2.6-linux_x64.tar.xz --platform-tag manylinux_2_17_x86_64
CI builds them for Linux (x86_64, aarch64), macOS (arm64, x86_64) and Windows x86_64, and
publishes to PyPI when a v* tag is pushed. For development without a bundled Nim, set
NIMLANG_NIM_HOME or put nim on PATH.
What's next: ROADMAP.md.
