Using Rust from Python
This chapter of the guide is dedicated to explaining how to wrap Rust code into Python objects.
PyO3 uses Rust's "procedural macros" to provide a powerful yet simple API to denote what Rust code should map into Python objects.
The three types of Python objects which PyO3 can produce are:
- Python modules, via the
#[pymodule]macro - Python functions, via the
#[pyfunction]macro - Python classes, via the
#[pyclass]macro (plus#[pymethods]to define methods for those clases)
The following subchapters go through each of these in turn.
