Bindings to the frost-dalek library
This repository contains bindings to invoke the functions in the frost-dalek library from Python, using the Pyo3 framework. This code is highly experimental, please do not use it in production.
Note that these bindings require a slightly modified version of the frost-dalek Rust library.
These modications can be found here.
Specifically, we had to remove some of the access modifiers in order to reconstruct some Rust types.
In addition, we had to remove lifetime specifiers since they are not compatible with Pyclass derives.
Building
We recommend to use maturin in a venv to compile the bindings. Installing maturin can be done by running:
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install maturin
Compiling the bindings can be done as follows:
maturin develop
Testing
We provide a Python script that follows the official usage guide, see frost_test.py.
Running this script after building the bindings should give the following output:
