I recently wanted to use some rust crates from Python and decided to give PyO3 a go and I must say it works really well. Took about one evening to plug it all together and get it running. The guide at pyo3.rs was really helpful and maturin to build binary packages just works. You pass in python types and they arrive as rust-native types. Makes writing code feel very native. The result: https://github.com/Grollicus/pyttfwrap https://github.com/Grollicus/pyttfwrap takes a string and splits it as it would wrap when rendered with a given TTF font. Most of the code is about keeping a reference to the loaded font as that's an expensive operation. Was some great fun and I'm sure I'll use it some more.
