* Align weak-reference collection with Python 3.15 finalization Trace and retain owned callback edges independently of weak referent links. Clear callback-bearing weakrefs before finalizers, suppress callbacks from unreachable weakrefs, and close remaining weakref ingress after resurrection checks while the world is stopped. Publish and unlink intrusive nodes safely. Refresh weakref and canonical weakref/GC/finalization tests through update_lib from pinned CPython 3.15.0. Retire four obsolete guards only after fresh body passes, retaining applicable RustPython limitations. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version unavailable * Refresh canonical IO tests for weakref finalization Migrate the complete CPython 3.15.0 test_io package at d220409 with the fail-closed legacy-map updater, preserving all ten existing guards. Retire the seven consolidated standalone suites and update io/file dependency paths with mapping regression tests. The canonical GC tests ignore ResourceWarning without retaining its source, so callback-free weakrefs correctly reflect surviving owners. This closes the stale test dependency exposed by the lifecycle change. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version unavailable * Protect weakref callbacks with the original referent stripe Follow CPython's free-threading weakref locking model instead of keeping an independent callback RwLock. Retain the original referent stripe key so callback access stays synchronized after GC clears the referent. Unlink and steal callbacks under that stripe, then release ownership outside the lock. Preserve synchronization for running-world GC paths and gc.get_referents while keeping ordinary weakref upgrades unchanged. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version unavailable * Defer weakref GC tracking until referent publication Keep freshly allocated weakrefs out of GC's object lists until they are linked and their referent is published. Release the referent stripe before tracking, since tracking can collect and invoke finalizers. Generic reuse losers remain untracked. Exercise the allocator boundary directly for reference, proxy, callable proxy and subclass payloads, and ensure completed constructors track their objects. This prevents observers from retaining a half-built dead weakref that later becomes live. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version unavailable * Retain the original weakref stripe lock like CPython Store a safe handle to the selected static weakref stripe instead of retaining and rehashing the referent address. Keep the same lock after referent clearing, matching CPython free-threaded weakrefs_lock. The nonthreaded handle is zero-sized and introduces no locking. Preserve lock selection, acquire/release ordering, fork reset, deferred GC publication, and callback-owner release outside the stripe. No new locks or unsafe code are needed.

RustPython
A Python-3 (CPython >= 3.15.0) Interpreter written in Rust 🐍 😱 🤘.
Usage
Check out our online demo running on WebAssembly.
RustPython requires Rust latest stable version (e.g 1.67.1 at February 7th 2023). If you don't currently have Rust installed on your system you can do so by following the instructions at rustup.rs.
To check the version of Rust you're currently running, use rustc --version. If you wish to update,
rustup update stable will update your Rust installation to the most recent stable release.
To build RustPython locally, first, clone the source code:
git clone https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
RustPython uses symlinks to manage python libraries in Lib/. If on windows, running the following helps:
git config core.symlinks true
Then you can change into the RustPython directory and run the demo (Note: --release is
needed to prevent stack overflow on Windows):
$ cd RustPython
$ cargo run --release -- -c 'print("Hello, RustPython!")'
Hello, RustPython!
Or use the interactive shell:
$ cargo run --release
Welcome to rustpython
>>>>> 2+2

NOTE: For windows users, please set RUSTPYTHONPATH environment variable as Lib path in project directory.
(e.g. When RustPython directory is C:\RustPython, set RUSTPYTHONPATH as C:\RustPython\Lib)
You can also install and run RustPython with the following:
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython rustpython
$ rustpython
Welcome to the magnificent Rust Python interpreter
>>>>>
venv
Because RustPython currently doesn't provide a well-packaged installation, using venv helps to use pip easier.
$ rustpython -m venv <your_env_name>
$ . <your_env_name>/bin/activate
$ python # now `python` is the alias of the RustPython for the new env
PIP
If you'd like to make https requests, you can enable the ssl feature, which
also lets you install the pip package manager. Note that on Windows, you may
need to install OpenSSL, or you can enable the ssl-openssl-vendor feature instead,
which compiles OpenSSL for you but requires a C compiler, perl, and make.
OpenSSL version 3 is expected and tested in CI. Older versions may not work.
Once you've installed rustpython with SSL support, you can install pip by running:
cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
rustpython --install-pip
You can also install RustPython through the conda package manager, though
this isn't officially supported and may be out of date:
conda install rustpython -c conda-forge
rustpython
SSL provider
For HTTPS requests, ssl-rustls-aws-lc is enabled by default for the RustPython binary. Embedders can use rustpython-stdlib's provider-agnostic ssl-rustls feature and install their own rustls crypto provider, or replace rustls with ssl-openssl if their environment requires OpenSSL.
Note that to use OpenSSL on Windows, you may need to install OpenSSL, or you can enable the ssl-openssl-vendor feature instead,
which compiles OpenSSL for you but requires a C compiler, perl, and make.
OpenSSL version 3 is expected and tested in CI. Older versions may not work.
WASI
You can compile RustPython to a standalone WebAssembly WASI module so it can run anywhere.
Build
cargo build --target wasm32-wasip1 --no-default-features --features freeze-stdlib,stdlib --release
Run by wasmer
wasmer run --volume `pwd` -- target/wasm32-wasip1/release/rustpython.wasm `pwd`/extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_random.py
Run by wapm
$ wapm install rustpython
$ wapm run rustpython
>>>>> 2+2

Building the WASI file
You can build the WebAssembly WASI file with:
cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1 --features="freeze-stdlib"
Note: we use the
freeze-stdlibto include the standard library inside the binary. You also have to run oncerustup target add wasm32-wasip1.
JIT (Just in time) compiler
RustPython has a very experimental JIT compiler that compile python functions into native code.
Building
By default the JIT compiler isn't enabled, it's enabled with the jit cargo feature.
cargo run --features jit
This requires autoconf, automake, libtool, and clang to be installed.
Using
To compile a function, call __jit__() on it.
def foo():
a = 5
return 10 + a
foo.__jit__() # this will compile foo to native code and subsequent calls will execute that native code
assert foo() == 15
Embedding RustPython into your Rust Applications
Interested in exposing Python scripting in an application written in Rust,
perhaps to allow quickly tweaking logic where Rust's compile times would be inhibitive?
Then examples/hello_embed.rs and examples/mini_repl.rs may be of some assistance.
Disclaimer
RustPython is in development, and while the interpreter certainly can be used in interesting use cases like running Python in WASM and embedding into a Rust project, do note that RustPython is not totally production-ready.
Contribution is more than welcome! See our contribution section for more information on this.

Use cases
Although RustPython is a fairly young project, a few people have used it to make cool projects:
- GreptimeDB: an open-source, cloud-native, distributed time-series database. Using RustPython for embedded scripting.
- pyckitup: a game engine written in rust.
- Robot Rumble: an arena-based AI competition platform
- Ruff: an extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust
Goals
- Full Python-3 environment entirely in Rust (not CPython bindings)
- A clean implementation without compatibility hacks
Documentation
Currently along with other areas of the project, documentation is still in an early phase.
You can read the online documentation for the latest release, or the user guide.
You can also generate documentation locally by running:
cargo doc # Including documentation for all dependencies
cargo doc --no-deps --all # Excluding all dependencies
Documentation HTML files can then be found in the target/doc directory or you can append --open to the previous commands to
have the documentation open automatically on your default browser.
For a high level overview of the components, see the architecture document.
