Python client

[tmct]

Hi, have you ever thought about releasing a Python client for this? There are already Python wrappers for jq, but they of course require jq to be installed, and would not benefit from the speedups that you have achieved in this Rust library.

I could be wrong, but there doesn't seem to be a library that lets you do fast "jq" operations easily from Python, with no external deps. Interested to hear what you think.

Thanks,
Tom

(At first glance looks like this is very much focussed on being a CLI than a library, which makes sense!)

Hi @tmct, this idea has never crossed my mind before! jaq is very much also usable as a library (not only as CLI), so a Python wrapper seems quite doable. However, I personally have neither the time nor the motivation to create such a wrapper myself. If you --- or somebody else --- wants to go ahead and create such a wrapper, I could try to help out with problems occurring on the Rust side.

Thank you @01mf02 - I will let you know if I find myself with the capacity to tackle that - would love to use it! (If anyone else gets there first - great.)

Haven't used it myself directly but i've review code that uses https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3 and it seems very nice for creating bindings
