pythonvm-rust

A Python virtual machine, written in Rust.

Features

• prints strings to stdout
• basic exceptions
• for loops
• functions, positional arguments, keyword arguments, *args, **kwargs
• useable as a library
• a fine-grained sandbox

Goals

• Compatible with CPython 3.6's bytecode, in order to take advantage of FAT Python
• Support CPython's implementation of the standard library
• No crash, even when messing with code objects
• Bytecode optimizations at runtime
• Less bounded by the GIL than CPython

Dependencies

• CPython 3.6 (used as a parser and bytecode compiler).
• Rust
• Cargo
