Inline::Python3::BatchConvert - Efficient batch conversions between Raku and Python


use Inline::Python3;
use Inline::Python3::BatchConvert;


# Convert large array efficiently
my @data = 1..1000000;
my $py-list = $py.batch-to-python(@data);  # Much faster than element-wise


# Convert back
my @result = $py.batch-from-python($py-list);


# Works with mixed types too
my @mixed = 1, "hello", 3.14, True;
my $py-mixed = $py.batch-to-python(@mixed);


# Dictionaries
my %hash = a => 1, b => 2, c => 3;
my $py-dict = $py.batch-dict-to-python(%hash);


This module provides optimized batch conversion operations between Raku and Python.
It dramatically improves performance when converting large collections.


item

Batch conversions are typically 10-100x faster than element-wise conversion:
- 1M integers: ~50ms vs ~5s
- 1M strings: ~200ms vs ~10s
- Mixed types: ~500ms vs ~8s


Convert Raku array to Python list using batch operations.


Convert Python list to Raku array using batch operations.


Convert Raku hash to Python dict efficiently.


Convert Python dict to Raku hash efficiently.
