A full Python interpreter written in Rust

> a clean implementation and no compatiblity hacks

Ignoring the minor typo, this statement will cause some in the audience to frown ;) The value of an implementation like this is the compatibility hacks. Maybe take a few leaves out of the PyPy/HPy book.. PyPy has been amazing from the outset, but only a fraction of the community have been able to use it because the compatibility story initially was very weak. 15 years later and it's still not quite there, and consequently neither are the users.

Cool project!

Does having the python interpreter be written in rust confer any benefit for writing python extensions in Rust, such as less overhead for moving data in/out of the extension?

I remember testing this a few months ago, it worked, just like 2-3x slower with math it seemed. very cool project though!

Interesting, I had heard of PyOxidizer to produce binaries but hadn’t heard of an interpreter. Always interesting to see how different implementations approach a problem space. Thanks for sharing!

I'm curious if it is possible to install other python packages using this? Especially those built with cpp, like numpy?
