1#![cfg(feature = "anyhow")]
2
3//! A conversion from [anyhow]’s [`Error`][anyhow-error] type to [`PyErr`].
4//!
5//! Use of an error handling library like [anyhow] is common in application code and when you just
6//! want error handling to be easy. If you are writing a library or you need more control over your
7//! errors you might want to design your own error type instead.
8//!
9//! When the inner error is a [`PyErr`] without source, it will be extracted out.
10//! Otherwise a Python [`RuntimeError`] will be created.
11//! You might find that you need to map the error from your Rust code into another Python exception.
12//! See [`PyErr::new`] for more information about that.
13//!
14//! For information about error handling in general, see the [Error handling] chapter of the Rust
15//! book.
16//!
17//! # Setup
18//!
19//! To use this feature, add this to your **`Cargo.toml`**:
20//!
21//! ```toml
22//! [dependencies]
23//! ## change * to the version you want to use, ideally the latest.
24//! anyhow = "*"
25#![doc = concat!("pyo3 = { version = \"", env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION"), "\", features = [\"anyhow\"] }")]
26//! ```
27//!
28//! Note that you must use compatible versions of anyhow and PyO3.
29//! The required anyhow version may vary based on the version of PyO3.
30//!
31//! # Example: Propagating a `PyErr` into [`anyhow::Error`]
32//!
33//! ```rust
34//! use pyo3::prelude::*;
35//! use std::path::PathBuf;
36//!
37//! // A wrapper around a Rust function.
38//! // The pyfunction macro performs the conversion to a PyErr
39//! #[pyfunction]
40//! fn py_open(filename: PathBuf) -> anyhow::Result<Vec<u8>> {
41//! let data = std::fs::read(filename)?;
42//! Ok(data)
43//! }
44//!
45//! fn main() {
46//! let error = Python::attach(|py| -> PyResult<Vec<u8>> {
47//! let fun = wrap_pyfunction!(py_open, py)?;
48//! let text = fun.call1(("foo.txt",))?.extract::<Vec<u8>>()?;
49//! Ok(text)
50//! }).unwrap_err();
51//!
52//! println!("{}", error);
53//! }
54//! ```
55//!
56//! # Example: Using `anyhow` in general
57//!
58//! Note that you don't need this feature to convert a [`PyErr`] into an [`anyhow::Error`], because
59//! it can already convert anything that implements [`Error`](std::error::Error):
60//!
61//! ```rust
62//! use pyo3::prelude::*;
63//! use pyo3::types::PyBytes;
64//!
65//! // An example function that must handle multiple error types.
66//! //
67//! // To do this you usually need to design your own error type or use
68//! // `Box<dyn Error>`. `anyhow` is a convenient alternative for this.
69//! pub fn decompress(bytes: &[u8]) -> anyhow::Result<String> {
70//! // An arbitrary example of a Python api you
71//! // could call inside an application...
72//! // This might return a `PyErr`.
73//! let res = Python::attach(|py| {
74//! let zlib = PyModule::import(py, "zlib")?;
75//! let decompress = zlib.getattr("decompress")?;
76//! let bytes = PyBytes::new(py, bytes);
77//! let value = decompress.call1((bytes,))?;
78//! value.extract::<Vec<u8>>()
79//! })?;
80//!
81//! // This might be a `FromUtf8Error`.
82//! let text = String::from_utf8(res)?;
83//!
84//! Ok(text)
85//! }
86//!
87//! fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
88//! let bytes: &[u8] = b"x\x9c\x8b\xcc/U(\xce\xc8/\xcdIQ((\xcaOJL\xca\xa9T\
89//! (-NU(\xc9HU\xc8\xc9LJ\xcbI,IUH.\x02\x91\x99y\xc5%\
90//! \xa9\x89)z\x00\xf2\x15\x12\xfe";
91//! let text = decompress(bytes)?;
92//!
93//! println!("The text is \"{}\"", text);
94//! # assert_eq!(text, "You should probably use the libflate crate instead.");
95//! Ok(())
96//! }
