Anybody using Python and Rust should also check out maturin and pyo3. I run some (non public) Python modules created in Rust and both the performance and the testability is stellar.
We built the logic backing the Temporal Python SDK[0] in Rust and leverage PyO3 (and PyO3 Asyncio). Unfortunately Maturin didn't let us do some of the advanced things we needed to do for wheel creation (at the time, unsure now), so we use setuptools-rust with Poetry.
