rpds_py: Python bindings to Rust’s persistent data structures¶

Description¶

Python bindings to the Rust rpds crate for persistent data structures.

rpds-py provides efficient, immutable data structures including:

HashTrieMap - Persistent hash map
HashTrieSet - Persistent hash set
List - Persistent list with efficient operations

These data structures are backed by Rust implementations for high performance while maintaining a Pythonic API. They are particularly useful for functional programming patterns and situations requiring immutable, persistent collections.

The library is used by projects like the referencing library (part of the Python JSON Schema ecosystem) as a faster alternative to pyrsistent.

Dependencies¶

Python (>= 3.12)

Build dependencies: pip, packaging

Special Notes¶

This package provides platform-specific binary wheels for multiple Python versions and platforms:

Python 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 (including free-threaded 3.14t)
Linux (x86_64, aarch64, armv7l, ppc64le, s390x, i686, musllinux variants)
macOS (x86_64, arm64)
Windows (win32, win_amd64, win_arm64)

The Sage build system automatically selects and downloads the appropriate wheel for your platform and Python version using the packaging library’s compatibility tags. If no compatible binary wheel is available for your platform, the building system will raise an error indicating that no matching wheels were found.
