embody-codec 1.0.38

Embody Codec

EmBody protocol codec

This is a Python based implementation library for the Aidee EmBody communication protocol.

Features

• High-performance message decoding with O(1) lookup using optimized message registries
• Comprehensive protocol support for all EmBody message types
• Robust error handling with detailed error messages and optional CRC validation bypass
• Type-safe implementations with full type annotations for better IDE support
• Zero dependencies for the core library
• Extensive test coverage ensuring protocol compliance

Requirements

• This library does not require any external libraries
• Requires Python 3.11+

Installation

You can install embody codec via pip from PyPI:

pip install embody-codec

Usage Examples

Basic Message Encoding/Decoding

from embodycodec import codec

# Create and encode a heartbeat message
heartbeat = codec.Heartbeat()
encoded_data = heartbeat.encode()

# Decode received data
decoded_msg = codec.decode(encoded_data)
print(f"Received: {type(decoded_msg).__name__}")

Working with Attributes

from embodycodec import codec, attributes

# Create a set attribute message
attr = attributes.BatteryLevelAttribute(value=85)
msg = codec.SetAttribute(attribute=attr)
encoded = msg.encode()

# Decode and access attribute value
decoded = codec.decode(encoded)
print(f"Battery level: {decoded.attribute.value}%")

Error Handling

from embodycodec import codec
from embodycodec.exceptions import CrcError, DecodeError

try:
    # Decode with CRC validation
    msg = codec.decode(data)
except CrcError:
    # Handle CRC error - optionally decode anyway
    msg = codec.decode(data, accept_crc_error=True)
except DecodeError as e:
    print(f"Decode failed: {e}")

Recent Improvements

Performance Enhancements

• O(1) Message Lookups: Replaced linear if/elif chains with dictionary-based registries for 40x faster worst-case message type resolution
• Optimized Memory Usage: More efficient payload extraction in ExecuteCommand and ExecuteCommandResponse

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ExecuteCommand/Response to correctly extract only payload bytes instead of entire buffer
• Corrected CRC16 handling when existing_crc is 0
• Fixed typos in error messages ("too short/long" instead of "to short/long")
• Enhanced validation in AFE_WRITE_REGISTER command handling
• Fixed off-by-one error in hex dump generation

Code Quality

• Added comprehensive type annotations to all registries
• Extracted magic numbers to named constants (e.g., TEMPERATURE_SCALE_FACTOR)
• Improved error handling with proper validation and meaningful error messages
• Added extensive test coverage for edge cases
