I could not imagine choosing Rust for the use case described. I think it's one of the worst possible choices!
Python has so many advantages for throwaway code with quick iteration. Duck typing. Easy string indexing. Bignum arithmetic by default. Trivial mutable globals. Default parameters. Trivial to make reference cycles. Access variables by name. Exceptions. And the big one is eval().
