mentiora-loom 0.10.1

Python client library for the loom browser-automation daemon

loom (Python SDK)

Python client library for the loom browser-automation daemon.

Prerequisites

The SDK talks to a running loom-daemon over a Unix socket. Install loom (CLI + daemon + chromium pin) first via Homebrew, cargo install, or the install script — see the main README. Then start the daemon:

loom serve

Install

pip install mentiora-loom

The distribution is named mentiora-loom; it still imports as loom (import loom). Requires Python ≥ 3.11.

Quick start (sync)

import loom

with loom.Session.create() as session:
    receipt = session.navigate("https://example.com")
    print(receipt.action_hash)

Quick start (async)

import asyncio
import loom

async def main():
    async with await loom.AsyncSession.create() as session:
        receipt = await session.navigate("https://example.com")
        print(receipt.action_hash)

asyncio.run(main())

What the SDK exposes

• Session / AsyncSession — session lifecycle (create / close / abort / kill / replay / inspect / validate / export).
• Session.{navigate, click, type_text, select, hover, scroll, wait, evaluate, screenshot, snapshot} — every web action surface.
• Admin RPCs: kill_session(session_id, ...) (force-terminate without a handle), daemon_health(deep=...) (operational snapshot).
• Receipt + summary types in loom.types — Receipt, SessionInfo, SessionInspection, DiffReport, ExportInfo, ValidationResult, GrantInfo, SchemaRegistry, LoomErrorCode.
• Typed errors: LoomError, LoomRPCError, LoomConnectionError, LoomTokenError.

Cancellation (async only)

AsyncSession supports transparent cancellation via standard asyncio primitives. Wrap a call in asyncio.wait_for or cancel its enclosing task and the SDK fires a request.cancel envelope at the daemon, then re-raises asyncio.CancelledError so TaskGroup / asyncio.timeout keep working:

import asyncio
import loom

async with await loom.AsyncSession.create() as s:
    try:
        await asyncio.wait_for(s.navigate("https://example.com"), timeout=5.0)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        # SDK already sent request.cancel before the timeout re-raised.
        ...

Sync Session is single-in-flight by design — there is no cancellation hook. For cancellable work, reach for AsyncSession.

Connection details

Session.create() defaults work when a single user runs the daemon on their own machine. Override per-call if needed:

session = loom.Session.create(
    socket_path="/var/run/loom/loom.sock",  # custom daemon socket
    token="...",                             # explicit HELLO-token
    profile="standard",                      # or "safe", "full"
    network_mode="live",                     # or "replay"
    seed=42,                                 # determinism seed
)
