  Description     : Python interface for markdown-it.rs (and plugins), using Rust for blazingly fast Markdown parsing

The goal of this project is to provide a fast, safe, extensible, and
easy-to-use Markdown parser for Python. It is complimentary to
markdown-it-py, which is a pure Python implementation of markdown-it,
and here we aim to follow as close as possible the API for that
package.
.
If you care primarily about speed, this is the library for you. For
example, benchmarking the two libraries when parsing the CommonMark
Spec file, markdown-it-pyrs is 20x faster than markdown-it-py.
.
I plan maintain it under Debian Python Team umbrella.
