fatoora-rs 0.1.2

Python bindings for the fatoora-rs library, providing ZATCA-compliant e-invoicing functionality.

fatoora Python bindings

This package wraps the fatoora-ffi shared library via cffi.

Development (uv)

uv venv
uv pip install -e .

Build a wheel (uv)

uv build --wheel

Wheels (CI)

• GitHub Actions uses cibuildwheel to produce platform wheels in dist/ (wheel-only publishing).
• See .github/workflows/python.yml for the build matrix.

Notes

• The build step compiles fatoora-ffi with cargo build -p fatoora-ffi --release.
• The shared library is bundled into the Python package.
• ZATCA API responses are exposed via opaque handles with getters (no JSON payloads).
• Errors are raised as typed exceptions mapped from FFI error codes (see FfiErrorKind).
• For local dev without install, set FATOORA_FFI_PATH or build and use the repo target/ output.
• If a fatoora_ffi.h header is present (from FATOORA_CBINDGEN=1 cargo build -p fatoora-ffi), the Python wrapper will load its declarations automatically. You can override the header with FATOORA_FFI_HEADER=/path/to/fatoora_ffi.h.

Examples

python examples/load_lib.py
python examples/invoice_basic.py
python examples/invoice_parse.py

Tests

uv pip install -e .[dev]
uv run pytest tests

High-level API

from fatoora import InvoiceBuilder, InvoiceSubType, InvoiceTypeKind, VatCategory

builder = InvoiceBuilder.new(
    invoice_type=InvoiceTypeKind.TAX,
    invoice_subtype=InvoiceSubType.SIMPLIFIED,
)
builder.set_id("INV-1")
builder.set_uuid("123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000")
builder.set_issue_datetime("2024-01-01T12:30:00Z")
builder.set_currency("SAR")
builder.set_previous_invoice_hash("hash")
builder.set_invoice_counter(1)
builder.set_payment_means_code("10")
builder.set_vat_category(VatCategory.STANDARD)
builder.set_seller(
    name="Acme Inc",
    country_code="SAU",
    city="Riyadh",
    street="King Fahd",
    building_number="1234",
    postal_code="12222",
    vat_id="399999999900003",
)
builder.add_line_item(
    description="Item",
    quantity=1.0,
    unit_code="PCE",
    unit_price=100.0,
    vat_rate=15.0,
    vat_category=VatCategory.STANDARD,
)
invoice = builder.build()
print(invoice.xml())

set_issue_datetime expects a ZATCA ISO UTC timestamp string (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).
