Overview

This is a very experimental take on Python bindings for the biscuit_auth Rust library. It is very much a work in progress (limited testing, most errors are dropped on the floor, etc). Please don't use this for anything in its current state.

Hopefully someday this leads to a production-ready Biscuit library for Python, but this is (currently) not that, and there will definitely be significant API changes before that happens.

This project borrows quite heavily from the approach (and in many cases the actual code) of the biscuit-wasm project.

Building/Testing

Set up a virtualenv and install the dev dependencies. Plenty of ways to do that... Here's one of them:

$ python -m venv .env
$ source .env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

With that, you should be able to run maturin develop to build and install the extension. You can then import biscuit_auth in a Python shell to play around, or run pytest to run the Python tests.
