The one thing everyone here is missing so far is that it's a Rust binary, distributed on PyPi. That's brilliant.




I’m all in on using PyPI for binary distribution. Couple that with Python Venv and you have a brilliant system for per project dependancies.

I created this project for distributing Node via PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/nodejs-bin/


Why not rather distribute Python as NPM dependency?


You can get a statically-linked binary release from GitHub which depends on nothing (I think).


Can you explain the advantages of this vs cargo?


Most users already have pip installed, so they won't need to install a rust toolchain.


cargo is not a binary distribution.
