Python bindings for hysteria, a feature-packed proxy & relay tool.

hysteria-python

Python bindings for hysteria, a feature-packed proxy & relay tool. This package provides a bridge to start hysteria client directly from Python on any platform.

Looking for Xray-core bindings? Check Xray-core-python.

See the real-world production GUI client that takes advantage of the Python binding: Furious.

Start

To use this binding, please first make sure that:

• You are a Python developer, or your application is associated with this package.
• You are building a client application. There is no point to use binding on the server side.
• You want to provide additional abstraction for your client. The core(i.e. hysteria) will be shipped with your application as dynamic link library, not an executable.
• This bridge provides functionality to start hysteria directly from Python string(see the API below). What that means is that the client config stays in memory all the time, and cannot(or very hard to) be inspected. So you can, for example, get a configuration template from a remote server and edit it for a group of specific client and start the service.

Install

Core Building Tools

You have to install the following tools to be able to install this package successfully.

• go in your PATH. go 1.20.0 and above is recommended. To check go is ready, type go version. Also, if google service is blocked in your region(such as Mainland China), you have to configure your GOPROXY to be able to pull go packages. For Chinese users, refer to goproxy.cn for more information.

• cmake in your PATH. To check cmake is ready, type cmake --version.

• A working GNU C++ compiler(i.e. GNU C++ toolchains). To check GNU C++ compiler is ready, type g++ --version. These tools should have been installed in Linux or macOS by default. If you don't have GNU C++ toolchains(especially for Windows users) anyway:

  • For Linux users: type sudo apt update && sudo apt install g++ and that should work out fine.
  • For Windows users: install MinGW-w64 or Cygwin and make sure you have add them to PATH.

Source Code Modification

This repository, including the package that distributes to pypi, contains hysteria source code that's been modified to build the binding and specific API. If without explicitly remark, the version of this package corresponds to the version of the origin source code tag, so the binding will have full features as the original go distribution will have. And due to its backward compatibility, there's no plan to generate bindings for older release of hysteria.

To make installation of this package easier, I didn't add the original hysteria source code as a submodule. To track what modifications have been made to the source code, you can compare it with the same version under Python binding and corresponding go repository.
