east-py-std

Standard platform functions for the East programming language in Python.

Python equivalent of @elaraai/east-node - provides platform functions for console I/O, filesystem, HTTP, crypto, time, path manipulation, and random number generation.

Installation

pip install east-py-std

Quick Start

import asyncio
from east.runtime.compiler import compile_async
from east_py_std import python_platform

# Assuming you have East IR from the TypeScript compiler
# compiled_fn = compile_async(ir, python_platform)
# await compiled_fn()

Platform Functions

Console I/O (`console_impl`)

console_log(message: String) -> Null - Write to stdout with newline
console_error(message: String) -> Null - Write to stderr with newline
console_write(message: String) -> Null - Write to stdout without newline

Cryptography (`crypto_impl`)

crypto_random_bytes(length: Integer) -> Blob - Generate cryptographically secure random bytes
crypto_hash_sha256(data: String) -> String - SHA-256 hash of UTF-8 string (hex)
crypto_hash_sha256_bytes(data: Blob) -> Blob - SHA-256 hash of binary data
crypto_uuid() -> String - Generate UUID v4

HTTP Fetch (`fetch_impl`)

fetch_get(url: String) -> String - HTTP GET request (async)
fetch_post(url: String, body: String) -> String - HTTP POST request (async)
fetch_request(config: FetchRequestConfig) -> FetchResponse - Custom HTTP request (async)

Filesystem (`fs_impl`)

fs_read_file(path: String) -> String - Read file as UTF-8 text
fs_write_file(path: String, content: String) -> Null - Write UTF-8 text to file
fs_append_file(path: String, content: String) -> Null - Append text to file
fs_delete_file(path: String) -> Null - Delete file
fs_exists(path: String) -> Boolean - Check if path exists
fs_is_file(path: String) -> Boolean - Check if path is a file
fs_is_directory(path: String) -> Boolean - Check if path is a directory
fs_create_directory(path: String) -> Null - Create directory (recursive)
fs_read_directory(path: String) -> Array<String> - List directory contents
fs_read_file_bytes(path: String) -> Blob - Read file as binary
fs_write_file_bytes(path: String, content: Blob) -> Null - Write binary to file
fs_open_beast<T>(path: String) -> T - Open an indexed beast2 Array/Set/Dict file as a frozen, lazily paged value: the file is mapped and one segment is resident at a time (fs_open_beast(platform, T) is the factory behind FileSystem.openBeast)

Path Manipulation (`path_impl`)

path_join(segments: Array<String>) -> String - Join path segments
path_resolve(path: String) -> String - Resolve to absolute path
path_dirname(path: String) -> String - Get directory name
path_basename(path: String) -> String - Get base name (filename)
path_extname(path: String) -> String - Get file extension

Random Numbers (`random_impl`)

14 random number generation functions using cryptographically secure RNG:

random_uniform() -> Float - Uniform [0, 1)
random_normal() -> Float - Standard normal N(0, 1)
random_range(min: Integer, max: Integer) -> Integer - Uniform integer [min, max]
random_exponential(lambda: Float) -> Float - Exponential distribution
random_weibull(k: Float) -> Float - Weibull distribution
random_bernoulli(p: Float) -> Integer - Bernoulli trial (0 or 1)
random_binomial(n: Integer, p: Float) -> Integer - Binomial distribution
random_geometric(p: Float) -> Integer - Geometric distribution
random_poisson(lambda: Float) -> Integer - Poisson distribution
random_pareto(alpha: Float) -> Float - Pareto (power law) distribution
random_log_normal(mu: Float, sigma: Float) -> Float - Log-normal distribution
random_irwin_hall(n: Integer) -> Float - Sum of n uniform variables
random_bates(n: Integer) -> Float - Average of n uniform variables
random_seed(seed: Integer) -> Null - Seed RNG (no-op in Python)

Time (`time_impl`)

time_now() -> Integer - Current Unix timestamp in milliseconds (sync)
time_sleep(ms: Integer) -> Null - Sleep for milliseconds (async)

Usage

Full Platform (Async)

from east_py_std import python_platform
from east.runtime.compiler import compile_async

# Use all platform functions (includes async operations)
compiled_fn = compile_async(ir, python_platform)
await compiled_fn()

Sync-Only Subset

from east_py_std import python_platform_sync
from east.runtime.compiler import compile

# Use only synchronous platform functions
# Excludes: fetch_*, time_sleep
compiled_fn = compile(ir, python_platform_sync)
compiled_fn()

Individual Modules

from east_py_std import console_impl, fs_impl, crypto_impl

# Use specific platform function groups
platform = [*console_impl, *fs_impl, *crypto_impl]
compiled_fn = compile(ir, platform)

Development

# First-time setup (installs dependencies)
make install

# Development workflow
make test          # Run test suite
make lint          # Run linter (ruff)
make format        # Format code
make typecheck     # Type check with mypy
make check         # Run all checks (lint + typecheck + test)

# Other useful commands
make repl          # Start Python REPL with east_py_std loaded
make coverage      # Generate HTML coverage report
make lint-fix      # Auto-fix linting issues
make clean         # Clean build artifacts

Claude Code plugin

The East ecosystem also ships a Claude Code plugin — East language skills, example search, and preemptive diagnostics for East code — installed separately from the elaraai marketplace:

# Inside Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add elaraai/east-workspace
/plugin install east@elaraai

# From a terminal
claude plugin marketplace add elaraai/east-workspace
claude plugin install east@elaraai
