pyromark (stands for Python Rust Optimized Markdown) is a blazingly fast CommonMark-compliant Markdown parser for Python.

Uses pulldown-cmark Rust crate under the hood.

python -m pip install -U pyromark

import pyromark

html = pyromark.markdown("# Hello world")
assert html == "<h1>Hello world</h1>\n"

128x faster than Markdown, 105x faster than markdown-it-py, 79x faster than mistune, 8x faster than markdown-it-pyrs.

If you use threading, the difference with other libraries will be even more enormous, since pyromark releases the GIL.

See benchmark.
