#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct PyArray<T, D>(_, _, _);
Expand description

A safe, statically-typed wrapper for NumPy’s ndarray class.

Memory location

These methods transfers ownership of the Rust allocation into a suitable Python object and uses the memory as the internal buffer backing the NumPy array.

Please note that some destructive methods like resize will fail when used with this kind of array as NumPy cannot reallocate the internal buffer.

These methods allocate memory in Python’s private heap via NumPy’s API.

In both cases, PyArray is managed by Python so it can neither be moved from nor deallocated manually.

References

Like new, all constructor methods of PyArray return a shared reference &PyArray instead of an owned value. This design follows PyO3’s ownership concept, i.e. the return value is GIL-bound owning reference into Python’s heap.

Element type and dimensionality

PyArray has two type parametes T and D. T represents the type of its elements, e.g. f32 or PyObject. D represents its dimensionality, e.g Ix2 or IxDyn.

Element types are Rust types which implement the Element trait. Dimensions are represented by the ndarray::Dimension trait.

Typically, Ix1, Ix2, ... are used for fixed dimensionality arrays, and IxDyn is used for dynamic dimensionality arrays. Type aliases for combining PyArray with these types are provided, e.g. PyArray1 or PyArrayDyn.

To specify concrete dimension like 3×4×5, types which implement the ndarray::IntoDimension trait are used. Typically, this means arrays like [3, 4, 5] or tuples like (3, 4, 5).

Example

use numpy::PyArray;
use ndarray::{array, Array};
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::arange(py, 0., 4., 1.).reshape([2, 2]).unwrap();
    let array = array![[3., 4.], [5., 6.]];

    assert_eq!(
        array.dot(&pyarray.readonly().as_array()),
        array![[8., 15.], [12., 23.]]
    );
});

Implementations

Returns a raw pointer to the underlying PyArrayObject.

Returns the dtype of the array.

See also ndarray.dtype and PyArray_DTYPE.

Example
use numpy::{dtype, PyArray};
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
   let array = PyArray::from_vec(py, vec![1_i32, 2, 3]);

   assert!(array.dtype().is_equiv_to(dtype::<i32>(py)));
});

Returns true if the internal data of the array is contiguous, indepedently of whether C-style/row-major or Fortran-style/column-major.

Example
use numpy::PyArray1;
use pyo3::{types::IntoPyDict, Python};

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let array = PyArray1::arange(py, 0, 10, 1);
    assert!(array.is_contiguous());

    let view = py
        .eval("array[::2]", None, Some([("array", array)].into_py_dict(py)))
        .unwrap()
        .downcast::<PyArray1<i32>>()
        .unwrap();
    assert!(!view.is_contiguous());
});

Returns true if the internal data of the array is Fortran-style/column-major contiguous.

Returns true if the internal data of the array is C-style/row-major contiguous.

Turn &PyArray<T,D> into Py<PyArray<T,D>>, i.e. a pointer into Python’s heap which is independent of the GIL lifetime.

This method can be used to avoid lifetime annotations of function arguments or return values.

Example
use numpy::PyArray1;
use pyo3::{Py, Python};

let array: Py<PyArray1<f64>> = Python::with_gil(|py| {
    PyArray1::zeros(py, 5, false).to_owned()
});

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    assert_eq!(array.as_ref(py).readonly().as_slice().unwrap(), [0.0; 5]);
});

Constructs a reference to a PyArray from a raw pointer to a Python object.

Safety

This is a wrapper around pyo3::FromPyPointer::from_owned_ptr_or_opt and inherits its safety contract.

Constructs a reference to a PyArray from a raw point to a Python object.

Safety

This is a wrapper around pyo3::FromPyPointer::from_borrowed_ptr_or_opt and inherits its safety contract.

Returns the number of dimensions of the array.

See also ndarray.ndim and PyArray_NDIM.

Example
use numpy::PyArray3;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let arr = PyArray3::<f64>::zeros(py, [4, 5, 6], false);

    assert_eq!(arr.ndim(), 3);
});

Returns a slice indicating how many bytes to advance when iterating along each axis.

See also ndarray.strides and PyArray_STRIDES.

Example
use numpy::PyArray3;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let arr = PyArray3::<f64>::zeros(py, [4, 5, 6], false);

    assert_eq!(arr.strides(), &[240, 48, 8]);
});

Returns a slice which contains dimmensions of the array.

See also [ndarray.shape][ndaray-shape] and PyArray_DIMS.

Example
use numpy::PyArray3;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let arr = PyArray3::<f64>::zeros(py, [4, 5, 6], false);

    assert_eq!(arr.shape(), &[4, 5, 6]);
});

Calculates the total number of elements in the array.

Returns true if the there are no elements in the array.

Returns a pointer to the first element of the array.

Same as shape, but returns D insead of &[usize].

Creates a new uninitialized NumPy array.

If is_fortran is true, then it has Fortran/column-major order, otherwise it has C/row-major order.

Safety

The returned array will always be safe to be dropped as the elements must either be trivially copyable (as indicated by <T as Element>::IS_COPY) or be pointers into Python’s heap, which NumPy will automatically zero-initialize.

However, the elements themselves will not be valid and should be initialized manually using raw pointers obtained via uget_raw. Before that, all methods which produce references to the elements invoke undefined behaviour. In particular, zero-initialized pointers are not valid instances of PyObject.

Example
use numpy::PyArray3;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let arr = unsafe {
        let arr = PyArray3::<i32>::new(py, [4, 5, 6], false);

        for i in 0..4 {
            for j in 0..5 {
                for k in 0..6 {
                    arr.uget_raw([i, j, k]).write((i * j * k) as i32);
                }
            }
        }

        arr
    };

    assert_eq!(arr.shape(), &[4, 5, 6]);
});

Creates a NumPy array backed by array and ties its ownership to the Python object container.

Safety

container is set as a base object of the returned array which must not be dropped until container is dropped. Furthermore, array must not be reallocated from the time this method is called and until container is dropped.

Example
#[pyclass]
struct Owner {
    array: Array1<f64>,
}

#[pymethods]
impl Owner {
    #[getter]
    fn array<'py>(this: &'py PyCell<Self>) -> &'py PyArray1<f64> {
        let array = &this.borrow().array;

        // SAFETY: The memory backing `array` will stay valid as long as this object is alive
        // as we do not modify `array` in any way which would cause it to be reallocated.
        unsafe { PyArray1::borrow_from_array(array, this) }
    }
}

Construct a new NumPy array filled with zeros.

If is_fortran is true, then it has Fortran/column-major order, otherwise it has C/row-major order.

For arrays of Python objects, this will fill the array with valid pointers to zero-valued Python integer objects.

See also numpy.zeros and PyArray_Zeros.

Example
use numpy::PyArray2;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray: &PyArray2<usize> = PyArray2::zeros(py, [2, 2], true);

    assert_eq!(pyarray.readonly().as_slice().unwrap(), [0; 4]);
});

Returns an immutable view of the internal data as a slice.

Safety

Calling this method is undefined behaviour if the underlying array is aliased mutably by other instances of PyArray or concurrently modified by Python or other native code.

Please consider the safe alternative PyReadonlyArray::as_slice.

Returns a mutable view of the internal data as a slice.

Safety

Calling this method is undefined behaviour if the underlying array is aliased immutably or mutably by other instances of PyArray or concurrently modified by Python or other native code.

Please consider the safe alternative PyReadwriteArray::as_slice_mut.

Constructs a NumPy from an ndarray::Array

This method uses the internal Vec of the ndarray::Array as the base object of the NumPy array.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use ndarray::array;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::from_owned_array(py, array![[1, 2], [3, 4]]);

    assert_eq!(pyarray.readonly().as_array(), array![[1, 2], [3, 4]]);
});

Get a reference of the specified element if the given index is valid.

Safety

Calling this method is undefined behaviour if the underlying array is aliased mutably by other instances of PyArray or concurrently modified by Python or other native code.

Consider using safe alternatives like PyReadonlyArray::get.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::arange(py, 0, 16, 1).reshape([2, 2, 4]).unwrap();

    assert_eq!(unsafe { *pyarray.get([1, 0, 3]).unwrap() }, 11);
});

Same as get, but returns Option<&mut T>.

Safety

Calling this method is undefined behaviour if the underlying array is aliased immutably or mutably by other instances of PyArray or concurrently modified by Python or other native code.

Consider using safe alternatives like PyReadwriteArray::get_mut.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::arange(py, 0, 16, 1).reshape([2, 2, 4]).unwrap();

    unsafe {
        *pyarray.get_mut([1, 0, 3]).unwrap() = 42;
    }

    assert_eq!(unsafe { *pyarray.get([1, 0, 3]).unwrap() }, 42);
});

Get an immutable reference of the specified element, without checking the given index.

See NpyIndex for what types can be used as the index.

Safety

Passing an invalid index is undefined behavior. The element must also have been initialized and all other references to it is must also be shared.

See PyReadonlyArray::get for a safe alternative.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::arange(py, 0, 16, 1).reshape([2, 2, 4]).unwrap();

    assert_eq!(unsafe { *pyarray.uget([1, 0, 3]) }, 11);
});

Same as uget, but returns &mut T.

Safety

Passing an invalid index is undefined behavior. The element must also have been initialized and other references to it must not exist.

See PyReadwriteArray::get_mut for a safe alternative.

Same as uget, but returns *mut T.

Safety

Passing an invalid index is undefined behavior.

Get a copy of the specified element in the array.

See NpyIndex for what types can be used as the index.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::arange(py, 0, 16, 1).reshape([2, 2, 4]).unwrap();

    assert_eq!(pyarray.get_owned([1, 0, 3]), Some(11));
});

Turn an array with fixed dimensionality into one with dynamic dimensionality.

Returns a copy of the internal data of the array as a Vec.

Fails if the internal array is not contiguous. See also as_slice.

Example
use numpy::PyArray2;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray= py
        .eval("__import__('numpy').array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], dtype='int64')", None, None)
        .unwrap()
        .downcast::<PyArray2<i64>>()
        .unwrap();

    assert_eq!(pyarray.to_vec().unwrap(), vec![0, 1, 2, 3]);
});

Construct a NumPy array from a ndarray::ArrayBase.

This method allocates memory in Python’s heap via the NumPy API, and then copies all elements of the array there.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use ndarray::array;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::from_array(py, &array![[1, 2], [3, 4]]);

    assert_eq!(pyarray.readonly().as_array(), array![[1, 2], [3, 4]]);
});

Panics

Panics if the allocation backing the array is currently borrowed or if the array is flagged as not writeable.

For a non-panicking variant, use try_readwrite.

Returns an ArrayView of the internal array.

See also PyReadonlyArray::as_array.

Safety

The existence of an exclusive reference to the internal data, e.g. &mut [T] or ArrayViewMut, implies undefined behavior.

Returns an ArrayViewMut of the internal array.

See also PyReadwriteArray::as_array_mut.

Safety

The existence of another reference to the internal data, e.g. &[T] or ArrayView, implies undefined behavior.

Returns the internal array as RawArrayView enabling element access via raw pointers

        pyarray.to_owned_array(),
        array![[0, 1], [2, 3]]
    )
});

use numpy::PyArray;

#[pyclass]
struct CustomElement {
    foo: i32,
    bar: f64,
}

        Py::new(py, CustomElement {
            foo: 1,
            bar: 2.0,
        }).unwrap(),
        Py::new(py, CustomElement {
            foo: 3,
            bar: 4.0,
        }).unwrap(),
    ];

    let pyarray = PyArray::from_owned_object_array(py, array);

    assert_eq!(pyarray.readonly().as_slice().unwrap(), &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
});

Construct a one-dimensional array from an Iterator.

If no reliable size_hint is available, this method can allocate memory multiple times, which can hurt performance.

use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::from_iter(py, "abcde".chars().map(u32::from));

use pyo3::Python;
use ndarray::array;

Python::with_gil(|py| {

        vec![vec![111, 112], vec![121, 122]],
        vec![vec![211, 212], vec![221, 222]],
    ];
    let pyarray = PyArray::from_vec3(py, &vec3).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(
        pyarray.readonly().as_array(),
        array![[[111, 112], [121, 122]], [[211, 212], [221, 222]]]

Construct a new array which has same values as self, but has different dimensions specified by dims and a possibly different memory order specified by order.

See also numpy.reshape and PyArray_Newshape.

Example
use numpy::{npyffi::NPY_ORDER, PyArray};
use pyo3::Python;
use ndarray::array;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let array =

    assert!(array.reshape([5]).is_err());
});

Special case of reshape_with_order which keeps the memory order the same.

Extends or truncates the dimensions of an array.

This method works only on contiguous arrays. Missing elements will be initialized as if calling zeros.

See also ndarray.resize and PyArray_Resize.

Safety

There should be no outstanding references (shared or exclusive) into the array as this method might re-allocate it and thereby invalidate all pointers into it.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let pyarray = PyArray::<f64, _>::zeros(py, (10, 10), false);
    assert_eq!(pyarray.shape(), [10, 10]);

    }
    assert_eq!(pyarray.shape(), [100, 100]);
});

Return evenly spaced values within a given interval.

See numpy.arange for the Python API and PyArray_Arange for the C API.

Example
use numpy::PyArray;
use pyo3::Python;

Python::with_gil(|py| {

    assert_eq!(pyarray.readonly().as_slice().unwrap(), &[-2, 1]);
});

Methods from Deref<Target = PyAny>

Converts this PyAny to a concrete Python type.

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::{PyAny, PyDict, PyList};

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let dict = PyDict::new(py);
    assert!(dict.is_instance_of::<PyAny>().unwrap());
    let any: &PyAny = dict.as_ref();
    assert!(any.downcast::<PyDict>().is_ok());
    assert!(any.downcast::<PyList>().is_err());
});

Returns whether self and other point to the same object. To compare the equality of two objects (the == operator), use eq.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self is other.

Determines whether this object has the given attribute.

This is equivalent to the Python expression hasattr(self, attr_name).

To avoid repeated temporary allocations of Python strings, the [intern!] macro can be used to intern attr_name.

Retrieves an attribute value.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.attr_name.

To avoid repeated temporary allocations of Python strings, the [intern!] macro can be used to intern attr_name.

Example: intern!ing the attribute name
#[pyfunction]
fn version(sys: &PyModule) -> PyResult<&PyAny> {
    sys.getattr(intern!(sys.py(), "version"))
}

Sets an attribute value.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.attr_name = value.

To avoid repeated temporary allocations of Python strings, the [intern!] macro can be used to intern name.

Example: intern!ing the attribute name
#[pyfunction]
fn set_answer(ob: &PyAny) -> PyResult<()> {
    ob.setattr(intern!(ob.py(), "answer"), 42)
}

Deletes an attribute.

This is equivalent to the Python statement del self.attr_name.

To avoid repeated temporary allocations of Python strings, the [intern!] macro can be used to intern attr_name.

Returns an Ordering between self and other.

This is equivalent to the following Python code:

if self == other:
    return Equal
elif a < b:
    return Less
elif a > b:
    return Greater
else:
    raise TypeError("PyAny::compare(): All comparisons returned false")
Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyFloat;
use std::cmp::Ordering;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let a = PyFloat::new(py, 0_f64);
    let b = PyFloat::new(py, 42_f64);
    assert_eq!(a.compare(b)?, Ordering::Less);
    Ok(())
})?;

It will return PyErr for values that cannot be compared:

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::{PyFloat, PyString};

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let a = PyFloat::new(py, 0_f64);
    let b = PyString::new(py, "zero");
    assert!(a.compare(b).is_err());
    Ok(())
})?;

Tests whether two Python objects obey a given CompareOp.

lt, le, eq, ne, gt and ge are the specialized versions of this function.

Depending on the value of compare_op, this is equivalent to one of the following Python expressions:

compare_opPython expression
CompareOp::Eqself == other
CompareOp::Neself != other
CompareOp::Ltself < other
CompareOp::Leself <= other
CompareOp::Gtself > other
CompareOp::Geself >= other
Examples
use pyo3::class::basic::CompareOp;
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyInt;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let a: &PyInt = 0_u8.into_py(py).into_ref(py).downcast()?;
    let b: &PyInt = 42_u8.into_py(py).into_ref(py).downcast()?;
    assert!(a.rich_compare(b, CompareOp::Le)?.is_true()?);
    Ok(())
})?;

Tests whether this object is less than another.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self < other.

Tests whether this object is less than or equal to another.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self <= other.

Tests whether this object is equal to another.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self == other.

Tests whether this object is not equal to another.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self != other.

Tests whether this object is greater than another.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self > other.

Tests whether this object is greater than or equal to another.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self >= other.

Determines whether this object appears callable.

This is equivalent to Python’s callable() function.

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let builtins = PyModule::import(py, "builtins")?;
    let print = builtins.getattr("print")?;
    assert!(print.is_callable());
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the Python statement assert callable(print).

Note that unless an API needs to distinguish between callable and non-callable objects, there is no point in checking for callability. Instead, it is better to just do the call and handle potential exceptions.

Calls the object.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self(*args, **kwargs).

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyDict;

const CODE: &str = r#"
def function(*args, **kwargs):
    assert args == ("hello",)
    assert kwargs == {"cruel": "world"}
    return "called with args and kwargs"
"#;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let module = PyModule::from_code(py, CODE, "", "")?;
    let fun = module.getattr("function")?;
    let args = ("hello",);
    let kwargs = PyDict::new(py);
    kwargs.set_item("cruel", "world")?;
    let result = fun.call(args, Some(kwargs))?;
    assert_eq!(result.extract::<&str>()?, "called with args and kwargs");
    Ok(())
})

Calls the object without arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self().

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let module = PyModule::import(py, "builtins")?;
    let help = module.getattr("help")?;
    help.call0()?;
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the Python expression help().

Calls the object with only positional arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self(*args).

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;

const CODE: &str = r#"
def function(*args, **kwargs):
    assert args == ("hello",)
    assert kwargs == {}
    return "called with args"
"#;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let module = PyModule::from_code(py, CODE, "", "")?;
    let fun = module.getattr("function")?;
    let args = ("hello",);
    let result = fun.call1(args)?;
    assert_eq!(result.extract::<&str>()?, "called with args");
    Ok(())
})

Calls a method on the object.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.name(*args, **kwargs).

To avoid repeated temporary allocations of Python strings, the [intern!] macro can be used to intern name.

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyDict;

const CODE: &str = r#"
class A:
    def method(self, *args, **kwargs):
        assert args == ("hello",)
        assert kwargs == {"cruel": "world"}
        return "called with args and kwargs"
a = A()
"#;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let module = PyModule::from_code(py, CODE, "", "")?;
    let instance = module.getattr("a")?;
    let args = ("hello",);
    let kwargs = PyDict::new(py);
    kwargs.set_item("cruel", "world")?;
    let result = instance.call_method("method", args, Some(kwargs))?;
    assert_eq!(result.extract::<&str>()?, "called with args and kwargs");
    Ok(())
})

Calls a method on the object without arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.name().

Examples
use pyo3::prelude::*;

const CODE: &str = r#"
class A:
    def method(self, *args, **kwargs):
        assert args == ()
        assert kwargs == {}
        return "called with no arguments"
a = A()
"#;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let module = PyModule::from_code(py, CODE, "", "")?;
    let instance = module.getattr("a")?;
    let result = instance.call_method0("method")?;
    assert_eq!(result.extract::<&str>()?, "called with no arguments");
    Ok(())
})

Calls a method on the object with only positional arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.name(*args).

        assert args == ("hello",)
        assert kwargs == {}
        return "called with args"
a = A()
"#;

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let module = PyModule::from_code(py, CODE, "", "")?;

    let args = ("hello",);
    let result = instance.call_method1("method", args)?;
    assert_eq!(result.extract::<&str>()?, "called with args");
    Ok(())
})

Returns whether the object is considered to be true.

This is equivalent to the Python expression bool(self).

Returns whether the object is considered to be None.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self is None.

Returns true if the sequence or mapping has a length of 0.

This is equivalent to the Python expression len(self) == 0.

Gets an item from the collection.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self[key].

Sets a collection item value.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self[key] = value.

Deletes an item from the collection.

This is equivalent to the Python expression del self[key].

Takes an object and returns an iterator for it.

This is typically a new iterator but if the argument is an iterator, this returns itself.

Returns the Python type object for this object’s type.

Returns the Python type pointer for this object.

Casts self to a concrete Python object type.

This can cast only to native Python types, not types implemented in Rust.

This is equivalent to the Python expression hash(self).

Returns the length of the sequence or mapping.

This is equivalent to the Python expression len(self).

Returns the list of attributes of this object.

This is equivalent to the Python expression isinstance(self, ty).

Checks whether this object is an instance of type T.

This is equivalent to the Python expression isinstance(self, T), if the type T is known at compile time.

Determines if self contains value.

This is equivalent to the Python expression value in self.

Returns a GIL marker constrained to the lifetime of this type.

Return a proxy object that delegates method calls to a parent or sibling class of type.

This is equivalent to the Python expression super()
