Maturin as a backend in select projects for mixed Rust Python projects

[nazq]

I'm looking to migrate a large mixed Rust/Python code base (all using uv) to a monorepo structure, and wanted the polylith structure if possible over and above uv workspaces. One thing I'd need to make this happen is to support maturin as a build backend. Has any thought been given to this ?

Hi @nazq! I don't know much about Maturin (yet) and will check it out. If it has similar capabilities as hatchling (such as build hooks or plugin support) then I think it is possible to support it for sure!

I will read up on Maturin and see what can be done 😄

This part looks promising (the include), I will test that out.

@nazq A short update: I have started working on a solution for Maturin and other Package & Dependency management tools without support for plugins or build hooks. I think I will be able to have something ready within a couple of days. 😄

Great to see. I'll take it for a spin this week and see how it drives. Many thanks

That would be great! I am not a Maturin user and would appreciate help with testing this workflow out 🙏
