PyO3 0.9.0 released

Hi. I'm happy to announce the release of PyO3 0.9.0.
PyO3 is an FFI library that makes it easy to interact with Python interpreter, thanks to the flexibility of proc-macro and useful toolchains like maturin.

This version has some breaking changes, mainly for preventing undefined behaviors. Probably, the most notable one is PyCell, which a RefCell-like object wrapper for #[pyclass].
#[pyclass] attribute is one of our primary APIs for making Python extension, which generates all boilerplates you need to convert a struct to a Python object. You can use it like:

#[pyclass]
struct MyClass { ... }

#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
    #[new]
    fn new() -> Self { ... }
    fn merge(&mut self, other: &mut Names) { ... }
}

And once a struct is declared with #[pyclass], you can use it from Python scripts:

from my_module import MyClass
m = MyClass()

Isn't it an easy API?

However, here comes a problem: basically we use Python objects as references, but they are not as smart as Rust's reference. They don't have mutability flags and are thus always mutable.
So not to violate the the rules of references, we wrap Rust's struct by PyCell and dynamically tracks references counts.

As a result, when trying to get an invalid reference, we can throw exceptions like this:

PyBorrowMutDemo
PyBorrowMutDemo694×198 15.1 KB

For other breaking changes, please see the migration guide.

PyCell is inspired by WasmRefCell. In addition to wasm-bindgen, I really appreciate all the community's efforts for making safe FFI-bindings. Actually, I learned a lot from reading stdweb and rlua.

And I also appreciate all contributors, issue reporters, and discussions on gitter, which helps us
to step forward to this safer direction.

Finally, I want to say thanks to the users. We know Rust is good, but also know it can be too difficult for non-programmers like Physics or Biology researchers. So it's my pleasure to see PyO3 is used for providing made in Rust software to broader areas, like Astronomy or Natural Language Processing.
Thank you.

Hello everybody. Diesel question!

I'm trying to do something like this: I have a type:

pub struct TextFilter {
    is: Option<String>,
    contains: Option<String>,
}

I would like to use this type to filter any arbitrary column of type text.

Is there any way to do this? Many thanks!

What's the quickest way to get the length of an integer?

@thor314 wrote:

S'pose I have some integer type, T.
The obvious way would be to get the length of of the string of that integer:

fn get_len_of_int<T>(i: T) -> usize
    where T: std::string::ToString
{
    i.to_string().len()
}

But is that the fastest way?
playground

Meta-questions:

  1. There are methods in the std library for quickly getting the binary representation of the integer, but I see no obvious conversion from binary to base 10. I may simply be uncreative though.
  2. I wonder how fast converting things to strings really is. I could test this (am doing that now), but I could bother other smart people too. Could it be that for some small cases, that a looping mod 10 method is faster?

Webassembly: Why so closely tide to Node?

Friends

I have been learning Rust in my spare time for a couple of years, and recently have been exploring webassembly to tie in Rust with PWAs, another technology I have been recently exploring.

tl;dr Rust is a carefully designed marvel of modern technology that builds on the lessons of the past. Node.js is not and does not. Why tie Webassembly so closely to Node.js?

I recently walked through the tutorial for which I installed the Node.js mess into a VM for that purpose. The resulting www/ heirachy had more than 7,000 files in it, all in my document root. The system was periodically polling my server for some unknown reason. I really do not trust it. AFAICT there is no straightforward path to serving with my favorite webserver. The turtorial leaves me high and dry in Node hell.

I have found this documentation and this code which looks like it will meet my needs. Thank you (again) to Rusticans beating a path for me, I really appreciate it.

I am interested in why the choice was made.

External state in an async hyper service_fn

@bocc wrote:

I want to propagate state to hyper's service_fn, which takes a single parameter, the request. As the example suggests, you can work around this by using a closure. But, I am going to need to concatenate the request body in order to parse it, and I have only seen it done asynchronously - which is currently not possible inside a closure on stable.

How do I work around this?

Update of HashMap stored in immutable struct doesn't persist

How to make a struct field generic for Vec and array

March 20, 2020, 3:05 pm

@joseph.wakeling wrote:

Hello folks,

I have a struct (and associated methods) where one of the fields could in principle be implemented as a Vec<f64>, or as a fixed-length array [f64; D] for some const D. In other words, it's expected that the stored Vec/array will have fixed length for the entire lifetime of the (mutable) struct.

My first implementation used const generics to fix the number of dimensions D and used [f64; D] for data storage. However, that relies on a nightly-only feature, and there are some limits on what features are available for arrays longer than 32.

So, I decided to rewrite to use a Vec instead. This worked fine, but halved the speed of the code (not really a surprise, as particularly with smaller length I imagine fixed size arrays are much easier to optimize).

So, having thought this through, it occurred to me that the best implementation would be to make the struct generic over the storage type, with the only constraints being that (i) it must be either an array or Vec and (or perhaps, that it must allow array-like interaction), and (ii) it must have floating-point elements.

Ideally it would also be possible to denote other fields as having the same type as the array/Vec element type.

In other words, I want to be able to craft a struct of the form

struct MyStruct<T> {
    vec_or_arr: T,
    some_float: {element-type-of-T}
    other_float: {element-type-of-T}
}

where T is constrained to being array-like or Vec-like.

(An effect of this would be that the function which initializes such struct instances -- which takes a slice as input -- would need to either just copy from the slice, or use to_vec to clone its content, depending on whether the struct data type is a fixed-size array or vec. And yes, the struct needs to own its data, not just hold a slice itself.)

So the question here is: how would I go about implementing such a generic version of my struct? The Rust book generic chapter isn't really helpful in this respect, and nor is Rust By Example.

I assume I would have to specify traits for the array-like behaviour, but which? And I really have no idea how I might go about setting other field types according to the array/Vec element type.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance for any help, and best wishes,

    -- Joe

@astrojhgu wrote:

In the declaration of a generic function, after the where clause, we may write:

where T: SomeTrait + 'a

Previously I'm confused about how could a type be associated with some lifetime, while it is not a reference.

Then I guess that T it self could be a reference, for example, T is instantiated to be e.g., &u32, then its lifetime becomes relevant.

In another example:

where T: SomeTrait + 'static

implies that eityer T has to be a &'static U (where U is some other type) , or it cannot be a reference type.

Is that correct?

Hi Rust community, I’m learning rust and would love to have a review of this tiny code snippets.

My original hint is to parse a string value to a int. If parsing fail I do something (here, I'm simply printing a message), and put a default value.

This technically works, but it looks weird to me:

let res = foo_str.parse::<u8>();

if res.is_err() {
    println!("Taking default value: 30");  // do something
}

let foo = match res {
    Ok(v) => v,
    Err(e) => 30,
};

They are a lot of example on Result handling over the internet with either print things or return thing but nothing explaining how to do something then return something.

Is there any rustonic way to handle this?
