Corium Python client

corium is the asynchronous Python API for both Corium deployment modes:

  • LocalPeer runs a full peer in-process.
  • RemotePeer connects to corium peer-server.

Both satisfy the same runtime-checkable Peer protocol and return immutable Db values. The native extension connects LocalPeer directly to Corium's peer library and RemotePeer to corium peer-server.

from corium import LocalPeer, Query

async with await LocalPeer.connect(
    "http://127.0.0.1:4334",
    database="people",
) as peer:
    db = await peer.db()
    rows = await db.query(Query.find("?name").where("?entity", ":person/name", "?name"))

Explicit close() (or async with) is required for deterministic shutdown. Wall-clock database views accept timezone-aware, millisecond-precision datetime values only. Custom Tagged values may use any tag except bytes, eid, inst, and uuid, which are reserved for dedicated boundary types. https:// endpoints automatically enable platform TLS roots, and bearer tokens are rejected for plaintext http:// endpoints by default. Local development may opt in explicitly with allow_insecure_token=True. Every endpoint must include an http:// or https:// scheme. Datom scans use limit=None for an explicitly unbounded scan.

Query, Pull, and transaction builders

All builders are immutable: every fluent method returns a new value, and Db.query, Db.pull, and Peer.transact accept either builders or the existing raw data-form escape hatches.

from corium import (
    EntityMap,
    Pull,
    Query,
    TxBuilder,
    data,
    gte,
    lookup,
    tempid,
)

tx = (
    TxBuilder()
    .entity(
        EntityMap.with_id(tempid("ada")).set("person/name", "Ada").set("person/age", 36)
    )
    .build()
)
report = await peer.transact(tx)

adults = (
    Query.find_collection("?name")
    .in_scalar("?minimum")
    .where(data("?entity", ":person/name", "?name"))
    .where("?entity", ":person/age", "?age")
    .where(gte("?age", "?minimum"))
)
names = await report.db_after.query(adults, 18)

person = await report.db_after.pull(
    Pull().db_id().attr("person/name").attr("person/age"),
    lookup("person/name", "Ada"),
)

Query builders cover relation, collection, tuple, and scalar results; scalar, tuple, collection, relation, database, and rule inputs; data patterns; predicates and functions; not, not-join, or, and or-join; rules; Pull find expressions; and aggregates. Strings beginning with ? are variables, strings beginning with : are keywords, and _ is the blank term. Use lit(...) when one of those spellings must remain a string literal.

Pull builders cover wildcard and entity-id selections, reverse references, nested patterns, bounded and unbounded recursion, aliases, defaults, and limits. Transaction builders cover entity maps, temporary IDs, lookup references, explicit EntityId values, add/retract/CAS/retract-entity operations, and arbitrary raw forms.

See examples/people.py for a complete topology-neutral example. The package includes py.typed, so these APIs are visible to static type checkers without a separate stub distribution.

Private PKI deployments can add a PEM certificate authority and override the certificate DNS name without replacing the platform trust store:

from pathlib import Path

peer = await RemotePeer.connect(
    "https://127.0.0.1:4336",
    database="people",
    token="secret",
    tls_ca=Path("ca.pem").read_bytes(),
    tls_domain="corium.internal",
)

Direct storage

LocalPeer normally reconstructs its in-process database from the transactor's gapless transaction stream. For faster cold starts, DirectStorage asks the transactor for a separately usable, read-only storage connection and loads the latest published snapshot before subscribing to the remaining transaction tail:

from corium import DirectStorage, LocalPeer, SegmentCache

peer = await LocalPeer.connect(
    "https://transactor.example.com",
    database="people",
    token=token,
    storage=DirectStorage(
        cache=SegmentCache(
            "/var/cache/corium/people",
            capacity_bytes=256 * 1024**3,
        )
    ),
)

Filesystem storage is present in the base corium artifact. Install at most one of corium-turso, corium-postgres, or corium-s3 alongside it to add exactly one driver. Each artifact uses a distinct extension-module name and depends on the common package, so it neither overwrites the base extension nor pulls other drivers into a remote-only installation. The package selects the installed artifact automatically and rejects ambiguous multi-artifact installations. A wheel without the advertised backend rejects it with an actionable StorageError, and available_storage_backends() reports the current artifact. See artifacts/ for local builds.

Release automation builds and smoke-tests CPython 3.10+ ABI3 wheels for Linux x86-64 and ARM64, macOS ARM64 and x86-64, and Windows x86-64. A tagged release publishes the base package and each optional artifact using PyPI trusted publishing. Unsupported platforms fail installation without falling back to an unverified source build.

Filesystem and Turso advertise local paths, so their direct-storage peers must run on a host that can reach the same path as the transactor. Corium rejects a missing store with StorageError; it does not create an empty store or silently fall back to replaying the full transaction stream.

PostgreSQL and S3 discovery never reuses the transactor's write credentials. The transactor must advertise its separately configured read-only PostgreSQL URL or S3 credentials. Temporary S3 credentials are refreshed through GetStorageInfo, and a refresh is rejected if the bucket, prefix, region, or endpoint changes.

The native integration suite uses the same workload for local and remote peers: query result conversion, Pull, datom scans, immutable views, stable caller-error mapping, transactions, and deterministic close. Set CORIUM_TEST_LOCAL_ENDPOINT and/or CORIUM_TEST_REMOTE_ENDPOINT to run it against live services. The dedicated private-CA and bearer-auth test uses CORIUM_TEST_REMOTE_TLS_ENDPOINT, CORIUM_TEST_REMOTE_TLS_TOKEN, CORIUM_TEST_REMOTE_TLS_CA, and optionally CORIUM_TEST_REMOTE_TLS_DOMAIN/CORIUM_TEST_REMOTE_BAD_TOKEN.
