Creating both a Python package and Rust crate

[CarlKCarlK]

Greetings,

I'd like to offer our genomics-related library, bed-reader, as a Rust crate. It is already a Python package via maturin.

Has anyone else created such a project?

When I set crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"], Linux and Windows work, but MacOS fails with
= note: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_PyType_IsSubtype"....

I guess I should instead create two related crates that share a Cargo workspace and repository. Is that right?

Thanks,
Carl

See PyO3/pyo3#2271

In other words, you should feature-gate the python extension module code (off by default) if you want to distribute a Python package and Rust crate together.
