A Python-3 (CPython >= 3.12.0) Interpreter written in Rust 🐍 😱 🤘.
Check out our online demo running on WebAssembly.
RustPython requires Rust latest stable version (e.g 1.67.1 at February 7th 2023). If you don't currently have Rust installed on your system you can do so by following the instructions at rustup.rs.
To check the version of Rust you're currently running, use rustc --version. If you wish to update,
rustup update stable will update your Rust installation to the most recent stable release.
To build RustPython locally, first, clone the source code:
git clone https://github.com/RustPython/RustPythonThen you can change into the RustPython directory and run the demo (Note: --release is
needed to prevent stack overflow on Windows):
$ cd RustPython
$ cargo run --release demo_closures.py
Hello, RustPython!Or use the interactive shell:
$ cargo run --release
Welcome to rustpython
>>>>> 2+2
4NOTE: For windows users, please set RUSTPYTHONPATH environment variable as Lib path in project directory.
(e.g. When RustPython directory is C:\RustPython, set RUSTPYTHONPATH as C:\RustPython\Lib)
You can also install and run RustPython with the following:
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
$ rustpython
Welcome to the magnificent Rust Python interpreter
>>>>>If you'd like to make https requests, you can enable the ssl feature, which
also lets you install the pip package manager. Note that on Windows, you may
need to install OpenSSL, or you can enable the ssl-vendor feature instead,
which compiles OpenSSL for you but requires a C compiler, perl, and make.
Once you've installed rustpython with SSL support, you can install pip by running:
cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython --features ssl
rustpython --install-pipYou can also install RustPython through the conda package manager, though
this isn't officially supported and may be out of date:
conda install rustpython -c conda-forge
rustpythonYou can compile RustPython to a standalone WebAssembly WASI module so it can run anywhere.
Build
cargo build --target wasm32-wasi --no-default-features --features freeze-stdlib,stdlib --releaseRun by wasmer
wasmer run --dir . target/wasm32-wasi/release/rustpython.wasm extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_random.pyRun by wapm
$ wapm install rustpython
$ wapm run rustpython
>>>>> 2+2
4You can build the WebAssembly WASI file with:
cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasi --features="freeze-stdlib"Note: we use the
freeze-stdlibto include the standard library inside the binary. You also have to run oncerustup target add wasm32-wasi.
