Comment:
What is this good for?

How is
```python
import typst
typst.compile(in, output=out)
```
any different than
```python
import subprocess
subprocess.run(["typst", "compile", in, out])
```
?

i would assume typst-as-a-library has a big more flexible of an api than shelling out, not to mention probably being faster

the package in question is pyo3 bindings not just a library that runs shell commands

All it seems to have is a `compile()` function, and it only takes a filename as input. It doesn't even support query metadata afaict.

Template is easy if you want to try it:
```
# Template file for 'python3-typst'
pkgname=python3-typst
version=0.10.0
revision=1
build_style=python3-pep517
build_helper=rust
hostmakedepends="cargo maturin"
depends="python3"
short_desc="Python binding to typst"
maintainer="Gonzalo Tornaría <tornaria@cmat.edu.uy>"
license="Apache-2.0"
homepage="https://github.com/messense/typst-py"
distfiles="${PYPI_SITE}/t/typst/typst-${version}.tar.gz"
checksum=37853d0938db054cfa9d00aa574d4eac2985af6e7396a59c521a76e9e6bdf020
make_check=no  # there are no tests
```

I'm honestly not sure its worth shipping, but I don't mind making a PR if you think it's worthwhile.

Note that the whole of typst (and dependencies) seem to be vendored in, so the pkg will be roughly the same size as `typst` itself.

It's worst in every way. It only exposes a single `compile` functions, without those options that exposed by the shell commands. My opinion, ignore this package.

Comment:
I was more referring to the native rust library for typst, which is a lot more flexible than these bindings, it seems.

This is what I noticed while trying (without success) to write the template myself. I asked for this package thinking that maybe there is a way to make `python3-typst` depend on `typst`...

Flexible or not, if it's not exposed, it's useless. Worse, the current state of Rust ecosystem, everything is static-linked, which brings more burden in maintaining.

Wait until Rust can have stable ABI, which means never. :-p
