Build and publish crates with pyo3, rust-cpython and cffi bindings as well as rust binaries as python packages
Project description
Maturin
formerly pyo3-pack
Build and publish crates with pyo3, rust-cpython and cffi bindings as well as rust binaries as python packages.
This project is meant as a zero configuration replacement for setuptools-rust and milksnake. It supports building wheels for python 3.5+ on windows, linux, mac and freebsd, can upload them to pypi and has basic pypy support.
Usage
You can either download binaries from the latest release or install it with pip:
pip install maturin
There are three main commands:
maturin publishbuilds the crate into python packages and publishes them to pypi.maturin buildbuilds the wheels and stores them in a folder (target/wheelsby default), but doesn't upload them. It's possible to upload those with twine.maturin developbuilds the crate and installs it as a python module directly in the current virtualenv.
pyo3 and rust-cpython bindings are automatically detected, for cffi or binaries you need to pass -b cffi or -b bin. maturin doesn't need extra configuration files and doesn't clash with an existing setuptools-rust or milksnake configuration. You can even integrate it with testing tools such as tox. There are examples for the different bindings in the test-crates folder.
The name of the package will be the name of the cargo project, i.e. the name field in the [package] section of Cargo.toml. The name of the module, which you are using when importing, will be the name value in the [lib] section (which defaults to the name of the package). For binaries it's simply the name of the binary generated by cargo.
pyo3 and rust-cpython
For pyo3 and rust-cpython, maturin can only build packages for installed python versions. On linux and mac, all python versions in PATH are used. If you don't set your own interpreters with -i, a heuristic is used to search for python installations. On windows all versions from the python launcher (which is installed by default by the python.org installer) and all conda environments except base are used. You can check which versions are picked up with the list-python subcommand.
pyo3 will set the used python interpreter in the environment variable PYTHON_SYS_EXECUTABLE, which can be used from custom build scripts.
Cffi
Cffi wheels are compatible with all python versions, but they need to have cffi installed for the python used for building (pip install cffi).
maturin will utilize cbindgen to generate a header file. To customize the header file you can either configure cbindgen through a cbindgen.toml file inside your project root or write a setup a build script which writes a header file to $PROJECT_ROOT/target/header.h.
Based on this header file maturin generates a module which exports an ffi and a lib object.
Example of a custom build script
use cbindgen; // Use `extern crate cbindgen` in rust 2015
use std::env;
use std::path::Path;
fn main() {
let crate_dir = env::var("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR").unwrap();
let bindings = cbindgen::Builder::new()
.with_no_includes()
.with_language(cbindgen::Language::C)
.with_crate(crate_dir)
.generate()
.unwrap();
bindings.write_to_file(Path::new("target").join("header.h"));
}
Mixed rust/python projects
To create a mixed rust/python project, create a folder with your module name (i.e. lib.name in Cargo.toml) next to your Cargo.toml and add your python sources there:
my-project
├── Cargo.toml
├── my_project
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── bar.py
├── Readme.md
└── src
└── lib.rs
maturin will add the native extension as a module in your python folder. When using develop, maturin will copy the native library and for cffi also the glue code to your python folder. You should add those files to your gitignore.
With cffi you can do from .my_project import lib and then use lib.my_native_function, with pyo3/rust-cpython you can directly from .my_project import my_native_function.
Example layout with pyo3 after maturin develop:
my-project
├── Cargo.toml
├── my_project
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── bar.py
│ └── my_project.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
├── Readme.md
└── src
└── lib.rs
Python metadata
To specifiy python dependecies, add a list requires-dist in a [package.metadata.maturin] section in the Cargo.toml. This list is equivalent to install_requires in setuptools:
[package.metadata.maturin]
requires-dist = ["flask~=1.1.0", "toml==0.10.0"]
Pip allows adding so called console scripts, which are shell commands that execute some function in you program. You can add console scripts in a section [package.metadata.maturin.scripts]. The keys are the script names while the values are the path to the function in the format some.module.path:class.function, where the class part is optional. The function is called with no arguments. Example:
[package.metadata.maturin.scripts]
get_42 = "my_project:DummyClass.get_42"
You can also specify trove classifiers in your Cargo.toml under package.metadata.maturin.classifier:
[package.metadata.maturin]
classifier = ["Programming Language :: Python"]
You can use other fields from the python core metadata in the [package.metadata.maturin] section, specifically maintainer, maintainer-email and requires-python (string fields), as well as requires-external, project-url and provides-extra (lists of strings).
pyproject.toml
maturin supports building through pyproject.toml. To use it, create a pyproject.toml next to your Cargo.toml with the following content:
[build-system]
requires = ["maturin"]
build-backend = "maturin"
If a pyproject.toml with a [build-system] entry is present, maturin will build a source distribution (sdist) of your package, unless --no-sdist is specified. The source distribution will contain the same files as cargo package. To only build a source distribution, pass --interpreter without any values.
You can then e.g. install your package with pip install .. With pip install . -v you can see the output of cargo and maturin.
You can use the options manylinux, skip-auditwheel, bindings, strip, cargo-extra-args and rustc-extra-args under [tool.maturin] the same way you would when running maturin directly. The bindings key is required for cffi and bin projects as those can't be automatically detected. Currently, all builds are in release mode (see this thread for details).
For a non-manylinux build you could with cffi bindings you could use the following:
[build-system]
requires = ["maturin"]
build-backend = "maturin"
[tool.maturin]
bindings = "cffi"
manylinux = "off"
Using tox with build isolation is currently blocked by a tox bug (tox-dev/tox#1344). There's a cargo sdist command for only building a source distribution as workaround for pypa/pip#6041.
Manylinux and auditwheel
For portability reasons, native python modules on linux must only dynamically link a set of very few libraries which are installed basically everywhere, hence the name manylinux. The pypa offers a special docker container and a tool called auditwheel to ensure compliance with the manylinux rules.
maturin contains a reimplementation of a major part of auditwheel automatically checking the generated library. If you want to disable those checks or build for native linux target, use the --manylinux flag.
For full manylinux compliance you need to compile in a cent os 5 docker container. The konstin2/maturin image is based on the official manylinux image. You can use it like this:
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/io konstin2/maturin build
maturin itself is manylinux compliant when compiled for the musl target. The binaries on the release pages have additional keyring integration (through the password-storage feature), which is not manylinux compliant.
PyPy
maturin can build wheels for pypy with pyo3. Note that pypy is not compatible with manylinux1 and you can't publish pypy wheel to pypi pypy has been only tested manually and on linux. See #115 for more details.

Code
The main part is the maturin library, which is completely documented and should be well integratable. The accompanying main.rs takes care username and password for the pypi upload and otherwise calls into the library.
The sysconfig folder contains the output of python -m sysconfig for different python versions and platform, which is helpful during development.
You need to install cffi (pip install cffi) to run the tests.
There are two optional hacks that can speed up the tests (over 80s to 17s on my machine). By running cargo build --release --manifest-path test-crates/cargo-mock/Cargo.toml you can activate a cargo cache avoiding to rebuild the pyo3 test crates with every python vesion. Delete target/test-cache to clear the cache (e.g. after changing a test crate) or remove test-crates/cargo-mock/target/release/cargo to deactive it. By running the tests with the faster-tests feature, binaries are stripped and wheels are only stored and not compressed.
