model-language 1.0.4

Python bindings for model-language — a typed, safe template language for AI-agent prompts. Runs the exact same engine as the TypeScript package via a WebAssembly (WASI) module.

model-language (Python)

Python bindings for model-language — a typed, safe template language for AI-agent prompts.

Powered by the production model-language engine compiled to a WebAssembly module: templates render byte-for-byte identically in Python and JavaScript, a guarantee enforced by a shared conformance/ suite run in CI. Fast (parse once, render many), sandboxed, and it never crashes — template problems degrade to empty output plus a warning.

▶ Live demo — try the language in a Tiptap editor (live validation, autocomplete, real-time render), powered by the same engine.

Filters format values — dates, numbers, text:

{{ user.created_at | date: "MMM D, YYYY" }}            →  Jul 5, 2026
{{ user.created_at | date: "h:mm A", "Europe/Kyiv" }}  →  5:37 PM
{{ user.last_seen  | time_ago }}                       →  3 days ago

Usage

from model_language import render, validate, parse

out = render(
    "Hi {{ user.name | default: 'there' }}!",
    data={"user": {"name": "Vasyl"}},
)
print(out["text"])          # -> "Hi Vasyl!"

diags = validate(
    "{{if user.plan == 'premium'}}x{{/if}}",
    schema=[{"path": "user.plan", "type": "enum", "values": ["free", "pro"]}],
)
print([d["code"] for d in diags["diagnostics"]])   # -> ["ML202"]

• render(template, data=None, schema=None, options=None) → {"text", "warnings", "resolvedBranches", "directives", "tokenEstimate"}. Pass options={"now": <epoch_ms>} for datetime filters (the sandbox has no ambient clock; it defaults to 0). Pass options={"snippets": {...}} for {{include}}.
• validate(template, schema=None, options=None) → {"diagnostics", "maxTokenEstimate"}. Pass options={"maxTokenEstimate": N} to raise ML213 over a token budget.
• parse(template) → {"ast", "diagnostics"}.

Nothing raises for template problems — they degrade to empty output plus a warnings/diagnostics entry.

Build (from source)

The bindings host model_language.wasm, built from the TypeScript engine:

# 1. Build the WASI module (from the repo root, needs Node + pnpm + the javy CLI)
pnpm install && pnpm wasm:build

# 2. Run the conformance parity tests
pip install wasmtime pytest
cd hosts/python && python -m pytest -q

The loader finds the module at ../wasm/dist/model_language.wasm by default; set MODEL_LANGUAGE_WASM to point at a prebuilt one. Requires wasmtime>=25.
