Wickra X-Ray — Python

▶ Live demo: all 514 indicators over real Binance market data, computed live in your browser — live.wickra.org · zero backend, powered by wickra-wasm.

A free explorer that shows, historically, what only Wickra computes — for Python. pip install wickra-xray — prebuilt wheels for Linux, macOS and Windows, nothing to compile.

Python bindings for wickra-xray-core, built with PyO3 and maturin. The surface mirrors every other Wickra binding: build an Xray from a spec JSON, drive it with command JSONs, and read back render frames.

Install

pip install wickra-xray

Pre-built wheels ship for Linux, macOS and Windows — there is nothing to compile and no C library to track down.

Building from this repository (contributors)

maturin develop --release
pytest -q

Quick start

import json
from wickra_xray import Xray

spec = json.dumps({
    "dataset_ref": "mini", "symbol": "AAA",
    "panels": [{"kind": "footprint", "price_bin": 1.0, "bucket_ms": 60000}],
})

xray = Xray(spec)
xray.command(json.dumps({"cmd": "load", "dataset": {
    "trades": [{"ts": 1000, "price": 100.4, "qty": 2.0, "side": "buy"}],
}}))
frame = json.loads(xray.command(json.dumps({"cmd": "frame"})))
print(frame["symbol"], frame["cursor_ts"])

Surface

• Xray(spec_json) builds an xray from a spec JSON ("" or "{}" for an empty handle whose spec is set later). Raises ValueError on a malformed spec.
• xray.command(cmd_json) applies a command JSON (set_spec, load, frame, frame_at, bounds, reset, version) and returns the response JSON. Domain errors come back in-band as {"ok":false,"error":...}.
• Xray.version() returns the library version.

Benchmark

Every binding forwards to the same data-driven Rust core, so what this one adds is the call overhead of PyO3, not a different result. The core's throughput is measured by the repository's benchmark suite and the nightly bench.yml run; the numbers, the machine and how to reproduce them are in the repository BENCHMARKS.md.

Documentation

The full guide, the spec reference and the API documentation live in the main repository and the documentation site:

• Repository: https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra-xray
• Docs (guides, spec reference, cookbook): https://xray.wickra.org
• Runnable example: examples/python/

Wickra X-Ray ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WASM and Rust, plus a C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) links against — all forwarding to the same data-driven, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.
