python-wayland 1.0.0

An implementation of the Wayland protocol built from the ground up with no runtime dependencies - no libwayland, no C libraries, just Python.

python-wayland

An implementation of the Wayland protocol from scratch, with no external dependencies, just Python. Aimed at building clients rather than compositors.

Features

• Includes support for all standard Wayland protocols and extensions from Hyprland and wlroots.
• No external dependencies, no other Wayland libraries are required. This is not a wrapper for libwayland.
• Maintains the original Wayland naming conventions to ensure Wayland API documentation remains relevant and easy to use.
• Supports updating protocol definitions from either the local system or the latest official protocol repositories. Latest versions of all protocol definitions are built-in.
• Supports code completion, type hinting and documentation for Wayland objects. (tested in vscode and helix)

Thanks

Thanks to Philippe Gaultier, whose article Wayland From Scratch inspired this project.

Thanks also to Drew DeVault for his freely available Wayland book. This project would not have been developed if not for Drew's book.

Thanks to the mkdocstrings project, not only for the mkdocstrings plugin to MkDocs but also because the configuration of the python-wayland documentation is almost entirely copied from the excellent work done by the mkdocstrings project in their own documentation.
