Python Bindings for Scarf

To increase usability, Scarf provides Python bindings to a limited subset of its functionality through the scarf_python package. This allows Python users to interact with SystemVerilog sources while leveraging the existing (fast) tools written in Rust.

When crossing the FFI boundary, Rust’s borrow checker can no longer provide lifetime guarantees; as such, many data structures must be cloned, and have associated From / Into implementations for their reference-based Rust counterparts. This quickly becomes the dominant factor in runtime; if speed/space usage becomes a concern, native Rust applications should be considered instead.

Warning

scarf_python is currently considered unstable. Expect API breaks between minor versions.
