hdc-py 0.2.0

A python wrapper around the (Open-) Harmony device connector

hdc-py

A Python wrapper around the (Open)Harmony Device Connector hdc. Using the library requires the hdc tool to already be installed.

Release notes and migration guide: CHANGELOG.md

The API is split into global hdc operations and target-specific device operations:

from hdc_py import Hdc

hdc = Hdc()
device = hdc.connect()  # or hdc.connect(target="127.0.0.1:55555")
result = device.cmd("echo hello", capture_output=True, text=True)

HarmonyDeviceConnector remains available as a compatibility wrapper around a concrete connected device.

hdc-py is meant to make writing scripts for testing on OpenHarmony devices easier, and provide abstractions. Goals include:

• Improved error checking and validation of command success
• Multi-device support via Hdc.connect(...) and automatic -t <target> scoping on device commands
• Support with syntax to enable performance mode for a number of commands, and disable the performance mode again, even if an exception occurs

This library is still under active development and far from complete. Known limitations include:

• Only a subset of commands is currently wrapped

This library is not an official OpenHarmony project.
