Preface

The Rust programming language is an exciting new language. It gives us memory safety without garbage collection, resulting in fast times and low memory footprints. However, rewriting everything in Rust can be expensive and risky as there might not be package support in Rust for the problem being solved. This is where Python bindings and pip come in. This book will enable you to code modules in Rust that can be installed using pip. As a result, you will be able to inject Rust as and when you need it without taking on the risk and workload of rewriting your entire system. This enables you, as a developer, to experiment with and use Rust in your Python projects.
