reliastra (PyPI package)

RELIASTRA command-line client — probes, verdicts, evidence records, public verification. This package is a thin installer, not a port. The CLI is a single Go binary built and released from github.com/ReliaAstra/Reliastra (cli/); this package downloads that binary and runs it. The same binary is also on npm (npm install -g reliastra) and via go install github.com/ReliaAstra/Reliastra/cli/cmd/reliastra@latest.

pipx install reliastra     # recommended: isolated, on PATH
# or
pip install reliastra

reliastra --version        # downloads the binary on first run, then prints e.g. 0.2.0
reliastra --help

How it works

• The wheel is pure Python, identical on every platform, standard library only, and has no build hooks — nothing is downloaded or executed at install time.
• On the first reliastra invocation the package downloads reliastra_<version>_<os>_<arch> over HTTPS from the GitHub release whose tag equals this package's version (v<version>), verifies its SHA-256 against that release's checksums.txt, caches it with executable permission, and runs it with your arguments. A mismatch is discarded and nothing is executed.
• The cache is per version and shared with the npm package: ~/.cache/reliastra (Linux, or $XDG_CACHE_HOME/reliastra), ~/Library/Caches/reliastra (macOS), %LOCALAPPDATA%\reliastra\Cache (Windows). Upgrading the package downloads the new version once.
• Exit codes, --json, --help, --version are the Go CLI's own — the package only passes them through. python -m reliastra is the same entry point as the reliastra console script.

Supported platforms

Linux, macOS, Windows on amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 (aarch64 / Apple silicon); Python ≥ 3.9. On any other platform the package exits with a message instead of guessing — use go install github.com/ReliaAstra/Reliastra/cli/cmd/reliastra@latest.

Environment

Upgrade / uninstall

pipx upgrade reliastra         # or: pip install --upgrade reliastra
