WGPU is a Rust thing more than a Python thing.

Fair, I was looking at the wgpu-py [1] page but only skimmed it. It does indeed look like a wrapper over wgpu-native [2] which is written in Rust.

To clarify this a bit, wgpu is a Rust implementation of WebGPU, just like Dawn is a C++ implementation of WebGPU (by Google). Both projects expose a C-api following webgpu.h. wgpu-py Should eventually be able to work with both. (Disclaimer: I'm the author of wgpu-py)
