Features we need from RustPython

[lastmjs]

• Ability to store a RustPython context indefinitely in memory and call portions of code at a time, with the state being maintained between calls (so far this is working, but gc has me concerned)
• Ability to convert results from executing code in the context to any Rust type (working for primitive types)
• Fully functioning Rust type that represents a Python generator. We need to be able to progress through the generator in Rust (we have some example code in RustPython to go off of)
• We need to be able to execute code in the VM, get a result, perform async operations in Rust, and then call into the interpreter again. This is what the generators will be used for
• [RFC] Reduce Wasm binary size RustPython/RustPython#4203
• decorator with type hint breaks RustPython/RustPython#4173
• [RFC] Bundle frozen modules RustPython/RustPython#4204
• python.rs file is not generated locally RustPython/RustPython#4166
• Ability to convert exceptions into strings RustPython/RustPython#4178
• Persist the state with vm.invoke RustPython/RustPython#4175

Ability to store a RustPython context indefinitely in memory and call portions of code at a time, with the state being maintained between calls

Right now we are really blocked on this, I can't figure out how to maintain state between update calls.

See this issue in RustPython: RustPython/RustPython#4175

We are not blocked on the previous comment anymore

Here's a list of open issues in order of importance:

• Persist the state with vm.invoke RustPython/RustPython#4175

Everything is working, but we're still on our own fork. Make sure we've opened issues in RustPython for all problems.

I think the main problem we haven't opened an issue for is making vm public on the interpreter.
