# SGLang Model Gateway Python Bindings

This directory contains the Python bindings for the SGLang Router, built using [maturin](https://github.com/PyO3/maturin) and [PyO3](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3).

## Building

### Development Build

```bash
# Install maturin
pip install maturin

# Build and install in development mode
cd sgl-model-gateway/bindings/python
maturin develop --features vendored-openssl
```

### Production Build

```bash
# Build wheel
cd sgl-model-gateway/bindings/python
maturin build --release --out dist --features vendored-openssl

# Install the built wheel
pip install dist/sglang_router-*.whl
```

## Testing

```bash
# Run Python unit tests (after maturin develop)
cd sgl-model-gateway/bindings/python
pytest tests/
```

## Configuration

- **pyproject.toml**: Defines package metadata, dependencies, and build configuration
- **python-source**: Set to `"src"` indicating Python source uses the src layout
- **module-name**: `sglang_router.sglang_router_rs` - the Rust extension module name

## Notes

- The Rust bindings source code is located in `src/lib.rs`
- The bindings have their own `Cargo.toml` in this directory
- The main sglang-router library is located in `../../` and is used as a dependency
- The package includes both Python code and Rust extensions built with PyO3
- PyO3 types are prefixed with `Py` in Rust but exposed to Python without the prefix using the `name` attribute
