ememdev 0.1.0

Python client for emem.dev, the agent-native Earth memory protocol

ememdev: Python client for emem.dev

Thin, typed Python client for the emem.dev Earth memory protocol. Wraps the public REST surface (96 documented paths, 93 under /v1/*) in a single Client class that returns parsed JSON verbatim. Every ed25519-signed receipt and content-addressed CID is preserved for citation and offline verification.

Install

pip install ememdev

The distribution is named ememdev; the import package is emem (so pip install ememdev, then from emem import Client). To work from a checkout instead:

pip install -e sdks/emem-py

Requires Python 3.9+. The only runtime dependency is httpx.

Quick start

from emem import Client

with Client() as em:
    cell = em.locate("Mount Fuji")["cell64"]
    facts = em.recall(cell, bands=["copdem30m.elevation_mean"])
    print(facts["facts"][0]["value"])

Async

import asyncio
from emem import AsyncClient

async def main() -> None:
    async with AsyncClient() as em:
        out = await em.ask("How tall is Mount Everest?")
        print(out["answer"])

asyncio.run(main())

Configuration

Env var	Default	Effect
EMEM_BASE_URL	https://emem.dev	Responder root; point at a self-hosted node
EMEM_TIMEOUT_SECS	180	HTTP timeout (matches gateway timeout)

You can also pass base_url= and timeout= directly to the constructor.

Surface coverage

Geocoder + read primitives, physics solvers, boring lat/lng shortcuts, and introspection — see the inline docstring on emem.client for the full endpoint → method mapping.

Receipts

Every non-introspection response carries a receipt block with:

• responder_pubkey (ed25519 base32-nopad-lowercase)
• signature_b32 (ed25519 over the canonical CBOR preimage)
• merkle_root (BLAKE3 over the fact CIDs)
• fact_cids[] (the BLAKE3 CIDs of every fact returned)

To cite an answer: quote receipt.fact_cids[0] and the responder pubkey. The signature can be verified offline against the public key at https://emem.dev/.well-known/emem.json; no callback to the responder is required.
