Hushline Python Core

A standalone, stdlib-only Python implementation of the Hushline command contract. It is one of four independent cores; it imports nothing from the Go, Rust, or Node cores and ships with no third-party runtime dependencies, so it drops into any prompt chain without baggage.

Install

python -m pip install --upgrade hushline
hushline version

The distribution installs two console scripts that share one entry point:

hushline mute -- git status
hushline-python-core version

Command surface

• hushline mute [--raw] [--pipe-errors=BOOL] [--max-lines N] [--max-width N] [--timeout N] -- <command> ...
• hushline manifest init [--global|--local]
• hushline manifest show
• hushline permit [status|allow] [path]
• hushline version

Behaviour matches the Go reference core exactly: identical default profile, config merge order, redaction, ANSI stripping, line truncation, and exit codes.

Build locally

cd cores/core-python
python -m pip install --upgrade build twine
python -m build

The built wheel contains the hushline_core package; verify before publishing:

python -c "import zipfile,glob; print(zipfile.ZipFile(glob.glob('dist/*.whl')[0]).namelist())"

Test

cd cores/core-python
python -m pytest --cov=hushline_core --cov-report=term-missing

Publish

A python-core-v* GitHub release triggers the publish-python-core workflow, which builds from cores/core-python and uploads to PyPI using the PYPI_API_TOKEN repository secret.
