rustpython-ast PyO3 bindings using wrapper feature

rustpython-ast-pyo3-wrapper

Github repository: https://github.com/hhclaw/rustpython-ast-pyo3.

Overview

Publishes https://github.com/RustPython/rustpython-ast-pyo3, a python library for calling the RustPython Parser from Python.

This library has enabled the "wrapper" feature, so the returned AST parse tree will be using classes in the library rather than the Python native ast class to represent the ast. This allows parsing of code in say Python 3.11 with lower python version say Python 3.8, since some node types used in Python 3.11 does not exist in Python 3.8's native ast module.

Caveat

Due to the way the wrapper is written, objects of static lifetime are created for each run. This will "leak" the ast structures created (until the end of the Python process). Need to be cautious if this is used within a long-running server.
