samod 0.5.0a2

Python bindings for samod - Rust implementation of automerge-repo

samod-py

Python bindings for Automerge via samod.

Development

pip install maturin
cd samod-py
maturin develop --release

Usage

import asyncio
import samod

async def main():
    repo = samod.Repo()
    print(f"Peer ID: {repo.peer_id()}")

    # Connect to sync server
    await repo.connect_websocket("ws://localhost:3030")

    # Create a document
    doc = await repo.create()
    await doc.set_string("title", "Hello World")

    # Read it back
    title = await doc.get_string("title")
    print(f"Title: {title}")

    url = await doc.url()
    print(f"Automerge URL: {url}")

    # Find an existing document
    existing = await repo.find("automerge:...")
    if existing:
        keys = await existing.get_keys()
        print(f"Keys: {keys}")

    await repo.stop()

asyncio.run(main())

API

Repo

Repository managing documents, storage, and sync.

Methods:

• Repo() - Create repo with in-memory storage
• peer_id() -> str - Get this peer's ID
• async connect_websocket(url: str) - Connect to WebSocket sync server
• async when_connected(peer_id: str) - Block until connected to specific peer
• async find(doc_id: str) -> Optional[DocHandle] - Find document by AutomergeUrl
• async create() -> DocHandle - Create new document
• async stop() - Stop repo and abort background connections

Connection handling:

connect_websocket() spawns connections in the background. Use when_connected(peer_id) to wait for a specific peer, or asyncio.sleep() as a workaround when the peer ID is unknown.

DocHandle

Handle to an Automerge document.

Methods:

• async document_id() -> str - Get document ID (AutomergeUrl)
• async dump() -> bytes - Serialize document to bytes
• async get_keys() -> List[str] - List all root-level keys
• async get_string(key: str) -> Optional[str] - Get string field
• async set_string(key: str, value: str) - Set string field

Architecture Notes

This package relies on PyO3 and pyo3-async-runtimes to bind the core automerge/samod Rust code in Python with native async await support.
