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
