Rust and Python - Oxidize Your Snake

Explore the integration of Rust and Python in this informative EuroPython 2018 conference talk. Discover how Rust, a safe and modern systems programming language, can be used to create fast and efficient Python modules. Learn about PyO3, a Rust library that simplifies the process of writing native Python modules with minimal glue code and cross-platform compatibility. Compare PyO3 with other methods like CFFI, ctypes, boost.python, cython, and SWIG. Gain insights into sample code, cross-platform support, and tooling for PyO3-based modules. Understand the benefits of using Rust for native Python module development, including improved safety and concurrency handling. No prior C knowledge is required, making this talk accessible to anyone interested in enhancing Python's performance through native code integration.
