It wraps the driver with Rust-compiled extensions that speed up data marshalling and protocol handling without requiring any changes to your application code. You install it in place of the base neo4j package, and it automatically pulls in the driver as a dependency, then registers itself so the driver picks it up at runtime.\n\nThe package trades medium install friction (pre-built wheels for common platforms, but source compilation as a fallback) for measurable speed gains on workloads that move large or numerous records. It's maintained actively, supports Python 3.10\u20133.14, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The dual Apache-2.0 and MIT license poses no restrictions for commercial use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use the official Neo4j Python driver and your workload involves moving substantial data per query. The installation is straightforward on common platforms (wheels provided for Python 3.10\u20133.12 on Linux, macOS, Windows), requires no code changes, and carries no license friction. Install friction is medium only if you hit an unsupported platform and must compile from source. No known vulnerabilities and active maintenance make it a low-risk performance win."},"id":"neo4j-rust-ext","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neo4j-rust-ext","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neo4j-rust-ext.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/neo4j-rust-ext/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-05","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0 AND MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"neo4j-rust-ext","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Rust Extensions for a Faster Neo4j Bolt Driver for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":340133,"position":7415,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.2.0.0"}
