Rust Inside Python Packages: PyO3, maturin, Wheels, and Stable ABI Choices

A practical two-hour session on Rust Inside Python Packages, focused on PyO3, maturin, Wheels, and Stable ABI Choices. The session treats Rust as a native component exposed through C-compatible boundaries, with attention to packaging, ownership, host-runtime tests, and failure handling.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Inside Python Packages
• Apply PyO3 in a small working example
• Apply maturin in a small working example
• Apply Wheels in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
