A minimal skeleton for building Rust applications with a Python frontend.
Building native, Rust-based Python modules is not very straightforward, especially since most inter-dependencies are barely explained in the maturin tutorial. A full walkthrough for this template is available at TODO.
This template includes:
- Rust as a foundation with support for Cargo workspaces
- A generated Python package
- A CLI implemented in Rust, exposed to Python
- Stubs to enable Python type hints
- Test setup, including GitHub actions
- Linting and packaging
- A Makefile for convenience

Some design choices are inspired by how Polars and uv create Rust bindings for Python.
