RustPython is a Python 3 interpreter implemented entirely in Rust, with no CPython bindings. It can be embedded in Rust applications as a scripting engine or compiled to WebAssembly to run Python in the browser.
Use cases
- run python code in the browser via webassembly
- embed a python scripting engine in a rust application
- alternative python interpreter without cpython dependency
- experiment with python language implementation in rust
- run python in a sandboxed wasm environment
When to choose
- you need Python embedded in a Rust program
- you want Python running in the browser via WebAssembly
- you want to hack on a clean-room Python implementation
When to avoid
- you need full CPython compatibility for production workloads
- you rely on C extension modules (numpy, pandas, etc.)
- you need maximum runtime performance for scientific computing
