The primary confirmation is the successful installation of `tiktoken` without the 'can't find rust compiler' error. If `pip install tiktoken` completes successfully after Rust is installed, it means the Rust components were either compiled locally or a compatible wheel was found and installed. You can then import `tiktoken` in Python and use its functions. The library is designed to leverage these Rust components automatically for performance; if they weren't available, you would likely encounter `ImportError` or `RuntimeError` when trying to use tokenization functions.
