## What it is
A Rust library providing a python!{} macro that lets you write Python code directly inside Rust source files. It uses pyo3 to embed the Python interpreter, allowing Rust variables to be passed in and results retrieved via a reusable Context object.

## Use cases
- embed python snippets in a rust program
- call python code from rust quickly
- share variables between rust and python
- prototype algorithms in python inside a rust app
- run python one-off scripts from rust

## When to choose
- you want quick, lightweight Python embedding in Rust without writing pyo3 bindings
- you need to mix small Python snippets into Rust code with variable sharing
- you want a minimal alternative to full FFI boilerplate

## When to avoid
- you need high-performance or frequent Rust-Python calls
- you need full control over the Python C API or complex object conversions
- your Python code must avoid the Rust tokenizer's syntax restrictions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: interpreter, sdk
- domain: programming-languages, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: rust, python, cross-platform
- tags: rust-macro, python-embedding, pyo3, inline-code, language-interoperability
