pyprttl

Python bindings for the Rust prttl Turtle formatter.

Installation

Python 3.11 or newer is required.

Install the published package from PyPI:

pip install pyprttl

If a wheel is not available for your platform, pip will build from source. Source builds require:

• Python 3.11+
• a Rust toolchain with cargo
• git, because Cargo fetches the pinned prttl dependency from its upstream git repository

To install from a local checkout:

pip install .

To install in editable mode for development:

uv sync --group dev
uv pip install -e '.[test]'

This creates .venv/ and installs the build and test dependencies used by this project.

Building

Build an editable local extension module into the active virtual environment:

uv sync --group dev
.venv/bin/python -m maturin develop

Build a wheel:

uv sync --group dev
.venv/bin/python -m maturin build --release --locked --compatibility pypi

The wheel will be written to target/wheels/.

Build a source distribution:

uv sync --group dev
.venv/bin/python -m maturin sdist --out dist

Testing

Run the test suite with:

.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q

Usage

import pyprttl

formatted = pyprttl.format_turtle("@prefix ex: <http://example.com/> . ex:s ex:p ex:o .")

The package is built with maturin.
