python-bindings

To create Python bindings for Rust code using PyO3, you define module entry points and classes in Rust, then use Maturin to build and package the compiled extension modules into distributable Python wheels.

Managing the GIL when writing Rust extensions for Python involves using PyO3's `gil_used = false` feature and `Bound<'_, T>` patterns to safely handle or release the Global Interpreter Lock during execution.

You convert Rust errors to Python exceptions in extension modules by implementing PyO3's error conversion patterns, allowing your Rust library's native error types to map seamlessly into appropriate Python exceptions.

Yes, Maturin supports generating type stubs for Rust extensions. It provides essential commands to automatically generate `.pyi` files, ensuring an improved developer experience with accurate type hints for your Python public API layer.

Yes, you can implement a Python context manager entirely in Rust. The PyO3 framework provides specific class definition patterns that allow you to map Rust structs and methods directly to Python context manager protocols.

The workflow for building and publishing a Python package from Rust with Maturin involves using specific Maturin commands for local development, compiling Rust into extension modules, building wheels, and publishing the final package.
