sonara-client
Talk to the Sonara text-to-speech runtime from Python 3.9+. Standard library only.
import sonara_client
with sonara_client.connect("my-app", runtime_path=r"C:\path\to\sonarad.exe") as sonara:
item = sonara.speak("Hello.", label="greeting")
sonara.set("rate", 240)
with sonara.subscribe(["state", "items"]) as events:

break
connect(client_name, *, runtime_path=None, home=None, autostart=True, require=(), extensions=(), keep_alive=False): finds the shared runtime throughruntime.json, starts the bundledsonarad.exewhen none is usable (runtime_path, defaultSONARA_RUNTIME), takes over an idle incompatible one.speak(text, mode=None, interrupt=None, label=None)returns the item id;control(action);set(key, value)/get(key);voices(engine=None).subscribe(events)opens an event stream on its own connection: iterate it, orread(timeout).request(type, fields=None, timeout=None)sends any message. Each request waits up toconnect(..., timeout=10.0)seconds,engine_testand a providerrefreshat least 90 s; no reply in time closes the client. A request over 1 MiB (UTF-8) is refused withE_BAD_REQUESTand the client stays open.channels,agent,system: extension namespaces that send the protocol's extension messages as they are.- Errors are

Guide: Bundle Sonara in your app. Tests: python -m pytest clients/python/tests -q (the end-to-end ones need cargo build -p sonarad).
