Rust to Python

- [Instructor] Here we have a project that does something that is very common when you're converting between Python and Rust, which is you have a particular data type and you want to convert it into a Python data structure. So how do we do this? First up here you can see that the lib is the location where all the code is. So inside of source, lib.rs inside of a directory called data-conversion. I've got a import here that says use Py03 and there's some libraries that are imported, including the Python dictionary. Next step what we do is we have a Python function here, which is going to do the heavy lifting and we say function data types example py. And then we have a Py results object right here. And then we define our Rust types here. So we say text and this is a string. We have integer, this is i32, we have floating F64 and we have bool. Now what we do is we create a Python dictionary. So again, this is a traditional Python dictionary people are used to, but we're doing it from…
