We probably want more examples, especially on idiomatic Rust interop, freezing entire Python modules (instead of a single function as I do in These are definitely a good start though. |

I'm sure examples like these were left out because you can just comb through the source, the documentation, pyckitup, etc. and figure out how everything works, and while that's definitely the case (I mean, I just did exactly that) doing so is quite time consuming, so I hope that I can leave these tutorials as breadcrumbs for anyone else who's interested in embedding RustPython into their applications.
I can say that personally I encountered RustPython a couple months back, and because there were no examples like these I simply assumed that embedding RustPython into Rust applications wasn't possible/feasible, and that it was meant simply to be a standalone application. Examples like these and the note in the README should make it much clearer to interested passerby that RustPython is not only embeddable into applications, but that it's also quite easy to do so.
