Design
Our goal is to create a stub file *.pyi
from Rust code, however,
automated complete translation is impossible due to the difference between Rust and Python type systems and the limitation of proc-macro.
We take semi-automated approach:
- Provide a default translator which will work most cases, not all cases
- Also provide a manual way to specify the translation.
If the default translator does not work, users can specify the translation manually, and these manual translations can be integrated with what the default translator generates. So the users can use the default translator as much as possible and only specify the translation for the edge cases.
pyo3-stub-gen crate provides the manual way to specify the translation, and pyo3-stub-gen-derive crate provides the default translator as proc-macro based on the mechanism of pyo3-stub-gen.
Usage
If you are looking for a working example, please see the examples directory.
Example | Description |
---|---|
examples/pure | Example for Pure Rust maturin project |
examples/mixed | Example for Mixed Rust/Python maturin project |
examples/mixed_sub | Example for Mixed Rust/Python maturin project with submodule |
Here we describe basic usage of pyo3-stub-gen crate based on examples/pure example.
Annotate Rust code with proc-macro
This crate provides a procedural macro #[gen_stub_pyfunction]
and others to generate a Python stub file.
It is used with PyO3's #[pyfunction]
macro. Let's consider a simple example PyO3 project:
use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyfunction]
fn sum_as_string(a: usize, b: usize) -> PyResult<String> {
Ok((a + b).to_string())
}
#[pymodule]
fn your_module_name(m: &Bound<PyModule>) -> PyResult<()> {
m.add_function(wrap_pyfunction!(sum_as_string, m)?)?;
Ok(())
}
To generate a stub file for this project, please modify it as follows:
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3_stub_gen::{derive::gen_stub_pyfunction, define_stub_info_gatherer};
#[gen_stub_pyfunction] // Proc-macro attribute to register a function to stub file generator.
#[pyfunction]
fn sum_as_string(a: usize, b: usize) -> PyResult<String> {
Ok((a + b).to_string())
}
#[pymodule]
fn your_module_name(m: &Bound<PyModule>) -> PyResult<()> {
m.add_function(wrap_pyfunction!(sum_as_string, m)?)?;
Ok(())
}
// Define a function to gather stub information.
define_stub_info_gatherer!(stub_info);
Generate a stub file
And then, create an executable target in src/bin/stub_gen.rs
to generate a stub file:
use pyo3_stub_gen::Result;
fn main() -> Result<()> {
// `stub_info` is a function defined by `define_stub_info_gatherer!` macro.
let stub = pure::stub_info()?;
stub.generate()?;
Ok(())
}
and add rlib
in addition to cdylib
in [lib]
section of Cargo.toml
:
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"]
This target generates a stub file pure.pyi
when executed.
cargo run --bin stub_gen
The stub file is automatically found by maturin
, and it is included in the wheel package. See also the maturin document for more details.
