Workshop on creating Python modules using Rust

[kushaldas]

In this workshop we will learn how to create a Python module using Rust. This will be a handson session which people can follow along using their personal systems.

When?

There will be two sessions (repeats) so that maximum people can attend the sessions.

• 1500 UTC 16th April
• 0900 UTC 18th April

The sessions will be between 2 to 3 hours long.

If you are planning to attend anyone of them, please comment below with the date you are interested. This will help us to understand how many people will attend on each day. You can attend both days too, no issues in that.

Where?

The live session URL will be on Twitch https://twitch.com/whykushal

Please create a Twitch account so that you can join the chat and ask questions during the session.

If you see any error, please paste them into https://share.riseup.net and then share the link with us in the chat. We will help you to debug, we may ask you to paste the full code file also.

Who can attend?

Anyone. If you are new to Python programming, you can also join in. If you don't know anything about, you can follow the links at the end of this comment to learn the very basics. But, you can still attend the session and follow the steps without prior Rust knowledge.

What is required for the workshop?

Python version: 3.7+

During the session I will be using a Debian Buster system with Python 3.7.

• Any modern Linux distribution (people with Mac/Windows can also follow, just that I don't have enough Mac/Windows expertise to help you with the initial setup). WSL should work smoothly.
• Stable internet connection on the same system (we will be downloading things and build during the workshop).
• Install git and Python development files.
  • apt install python3-dev python3-venv git # for Ubuntu
  • dnf install python3-devel git # for Fedora
  • Install latest Rust following https://rustup.rs

Things one learn before the session

• If you are new to Python, you can read Python for you and me book
• If you are new to Rust, you should start from the Book. Btw, please remember that it is okay if you don't know Rust before hand.

Session code example

It is in the https://github.com/kushaldas/randomos repository.

Please read http://kushaldas.in/posts/adding-dunder-methods-to-a-python-class-written-in-rust.html to understand how to add the dunder methods to any Python class.

If you have more questions

Please ask them in a comment below, we will reply back.
