Calling Python from Rust

Running code

The simplest way to do this is VirtualMachine::run_code_string. This requires a scope, which can be created with VirtualMachine::new_scope_with_builtins

let scope = vm.new_scope_with_builtins();
vm.run_code_string(scope, "print('hello')", "<embedded>").unwrap();

If your code is from a path, consider using VirtualMachine::run_script

let scope = vm.new_scope_with_builtins();
vm.run_code_string(scope, "hello.py").unwrap();

Compilation

vm.compile("print('hello')", vm::compiler::Mode::Exec, "<embedded>".to_owned())

once compiled, the code can be called any number of times with

let scope = vm.new_scope_with_builtins();
vm.run_code_obj(code_obj, scope)?;

Calling specific code
