Strings of Unknown Size

I'm attempting to make a function in rust-pyo3 that takes in an np.array[np.str_] but I don't want to fix the size of the string to a particular value. How do I go about writing the signature of that function, because the size of the string array will not always the same?

Example:

# python

import mylib

mylib.calculate(np.array(["a", "b"]) # <U1
mylib.calculate(np.array(["foo," "bar"]) #  U<2

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use numpy::PyArray1;

#[pyfunction]
#[pyo3(signature=(arr))]
fn calculate(arr: PyArray1<???>) -> PyResult<()> 
{
  Ok(())
}

Is this functionality supported where we can determine the length of the strings at run-time rather than at compile-time?

Start by examining the PyArray1 type and the #[pyfunction] signature shown in the issue, then check the NumPy and PyO3 bindings for support for variable-width string arrays. Compare the <U1 and <U2 examples and document whether runtime string lengths are supported or what API change would be needed.
