RustPython

A Python Interpreter written in Rust 🐍 😱 🤘.

Usage (Not implemented yet)

To test RustPython, do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
$ cd RustPython
$ cargo run demo.py
42

Or use the interactive shell:

$ cargo run
Welcome to rustpython
>>>>> 2+2
4

Or use pip to install extra modules:

$ cargo run -m pip install requests

Goals

• Full python environment entirely in Rust (not CPython bindings)
• A clean implementation without compatibility hacks

Code organization

- parser: python lexing, parsing and ast
- vm: python virtual machine
- src: using the other subcrates to bring rustpython to life.

The files in the top level directory are from windelbouwman/rspython which contains an implementation of the parser and vm in src/

An alternative implementation of python virtual machine that are compatible with CPython parser are from shinglyu/RustPython and is located in the VM/ folder.

We are in the process of merging the two implementation to form a single implementation.
