hexy-py 0.2.0

Python bindings for hexy-core.

hexy-py

Python bindings for the hexy-core Rust crate.

HexFile.from_file(path) reads a file and auto-detects Intel HEX, S-Record, or raw binary with the same content sniffing used by the compat CLI. Use HexFile.from_file_bytes(data) for the same auto-detection against in-memory file bytes. Explicit parsers such as HexFile.from_intel_hex(data) remain available when the format is known.

File writers mirror the in-memory serializers: write_intel_hex(path), write_srec(path), write_binary(path), and write_hex_ascii(path).

Pipeline is the reusable operation recipe API. It applies operations in hexy CLI compatibility order, not in the order methods are called. For ad-hoc custom ordering, call methods directly on HexFile.

Range-taking Python APIs use one range string for single-range operations and a list of range strings for operations that accept multiple ranges. Each string uses the same range syntax as the compat CLI.

Sparse files stay sparse for inspection and in-memory operations. Dense exports such as to_bytes() and to_binary(fill_gaps=...) allocate across the covered address span, so sparse inputs with far-apart segments can intentionally produce large byte strings.
