Ziggy Pydust is a framework for writing and packaging native Python extension modules written in Zig.

- Package Python extension modules written in Zig.
- Pytest plugin to discover and run Zig tests.
- Comptime argument wrapping / unwrapping for interop with native Zig types.

```zig
const py = @import("pydust");

pub fn fibonacci(args: struct { n: u64 }) u64 {
    if (args.n < 2) return args.n;

    var sum: u64 = 0;
    var last: u64 = 0;
    var curr: u64 = 1;
    for (1..args.n) {
        sum = last + curr;
        last = curr;
        curr = sum;
    }
    return sum;
}

comptime {
    py.rootmodule(@This());
}
```
