Migrating a uv project

[wrath-codes]

At the moment, in the company I work at, I'm the only Python developer working as a data engineer, I have a couple modules written in rust and a pretty sized main python module that I'm thinking on restructuring into smaller module. I'm came across Polylyth by accident, and I think it might be really useful to our future of the project(s) of the company. How'd i go about having all in the same workspace? Or should I have a separate repo for the python/rust hybrids?

I’m happy that you have found Polylith! There is support in Polylith for the Maturin tool, that I believe is used for Python and Rust hybrid repos. Maybe you use the Maturin build backend already?

[DavidVujic]

I’m not a Maturin (or Rust) user yet myself, but here’s the conversation about support for it in Polylith, and that shortly after was added (announcement linked in there too):

#297

Hoping you’ll get some ideas for a solution from it!

[DavidVujic]

I think your initial ideas about importing the Rust code as dependencies sounds like a good idea. The Polylith tool won't recognize Rust code and will only visualize the Python bricks and the dependencies.

I will try it out next week. I was asking since it generates an init.py file, and it has another .pyi with the docstrings to generate docs. I was trying to prepare beforehandand wondering if polylyth would detect them b any chance. But maybe just keep all rust code in another repo and build as lib and importing using url or git might br safer

[DavidVujic]

Oh, I didn't know that's how it works. Then it might be picked up by the Polylith tool. Let me know how things work out and if there are something missing in the tooling 😄

I'm not a specialist at maturin, so I'm probably not the right person for the job, but I'll definitely get back to you about my findings.
