pyo3-built

Simple macro to expose metadata obtained with the built crate as a PyDict

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml manifest:

[build-dependencies]
built = { version = "0.4", features = ["chrono"] }
[dependencies]
pyo3-built = "0.4"

Create your build.rs as you normally would with built, but activate dependencies metadata as well:

//! build.rs
extern crate built;

fn main() {
    let src = std::env::var("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR").unwrap();
    let dst = std::path::Path::new(&std::env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap()).join("built.rs");
    let mut opts = built::Options::default();
    opts.set_dependencies(true)
        .set_compiler(true)
        .set_env(true);
    built::write_built_file_with_opts(&opts, std::path::Path::new(&src), &dst)
        .expect("Failed to acquire build-time information");
}

Then, include the generated file anywhere in a dedicated module in your Python extension, and use the pyo3_built! macro to generate the PyDict:

//! lib.rs
#[macro_use]
extern crate pyo3_built;
extern crate pyo3;

use pyo3::prelude::*;

#[allow(dead_code)]
mod build {
    include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/built.rs"));
}

/// Module documentation string
#[modinit("mymodule")]
fn init(py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
    // ... //
    m.add("__build__", pyo3_built!(py, build))?;
    Ok(())
}

That's it ! After compiling your extension module, the __build__ attribute will contain the following metadata:

>>> import mymodule
>>> mymodule.__build__
