PyO3 Examples

These example crates are a collection of toy extension modules built with PyO3. They are all tested using nox in PyO3's CI.

Below is a brief description of each of these:

Example	Description
`decorator`	A project showcasing the example from the Emulating callable objects chapter of the guide.
`maturin-starter`	A template project which is configured to use `maturin` for development.
`setuptools-rust-starter`	A template project which is configured to use `setuptools_rust` for development.
`plugin`	Illustrates how to use Python as a scripting language within a Rust application

Note that there are also other examples in the pyo3-ffi/examples directory that illustrate how to create rust extensions using raw FFI calls into the CPython C API instead of using PyO3's abstractions.

Creating new projects from these examples

To copy an example, use cargo-generate. Follow the commands below, replacing <example> with the example to start from:

bash

$ cargo install cargo-generate
$ cargo generate --git https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3 examples/<example>

(cargo generate will take a little while to clone the PyO3 repo first; be patient when waiting for the command to run.)
