Markdown Virtual Table: Implementing SELECT
I have been continuing my earlier virtual table prototype and it is slowly coming along. I uploaded a version to codeberg while I was debugging python packaging. I do not have it quite working right, but I think I will be using setuptools-rust for now (pr ). This post is partly to help document what I have discovered over time so will not be complete code examples in every case. In the future I will be uploading the project to Codeberg and later to PyPi. Most of my rust code is likely not great, so would appreciate a mentor!
