setuptools-rust 0.5.1

Setuptools rust extension plugin

Setuptools helpers for rust Python extensions.

Compile and distribute Python extensions written in rust as easily as if they were written in C.

Example
-------

setup.py
^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

from setuptools import setup
from setuptools_rust import RustExtension

setup(name='hello-rust',
version='1.0',
rust_extensions=[RustExtension('hello_rust._helloworld', 'extensions/Cargo.toml')],
packages=['hello_rust'],
# rust extensions are not zip safe, just like C-extensions.
zip_safe=False
)


You can use same commands as for c-extensions. For example::

>>> python ./setup.py develop
running develop
running egg_info
writing hello-rust.egg-info/PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to hello_rust.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to hello_rust.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
reading manifest file 'hello_rust.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
writing manifest file 'hello_rust.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
running build_ext
running build_rust
cargo build --manifest-path extensions/Cargo.toml --features python27-sys
Finished debug [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.0 secs

Creating /.../lib/python2.7/site-packages/hello_rust.egg-link (link to .)

Installed hello_rust
Processing dependencies for hello_rust==1.0
Finished processing dependencies for hello_rust==1.0


Or you can use commands like `bdist_wheel` or `bdist_egg`


RustExtension
-------------

You can define rust extension with `RustExtension` class:

RustExtension(name, path, args=None, features=None, rust_version=None, quiet=False, debug=False)

The class for creating rust extensions.

:param str name: the full name of the extension, including any packages -- ie.
*not* a filename or pathname, but Python dotted name

:param str path: path to the Cargo.toml manifest file

:param [str] args: a list of extra argumenents to be passed to cargo.

:param [str] features: a list of features to also build

:param str rust_version: sematic version of rust compiler version -- for example
*>1.14,<1.16*, default is None

:param bool quiet: Does not echo cargo's output. default is False

:param bool debug: Controls whether --debug or --release is passed to cargo. If set to
None then build type is auto-detect. Inplace build is debug build
otherwise release. Default: None


Commands
--------

* `build` - Standard `build` command builds all rust extensions.

* `build_ext` - Command builds all rust extensions.

* `clean` - Standard `clean` command executes `cargo clean` for all rust extensions.

* `check` - Standard `check` command executes `cargo check` for all rust extensions.
