Zuspec live-Python Backend

zuspec-be-py is the live-Python backend for Zuspec — the Python analogue of zuspec-be-sv. It consumes a zuspec.ir.core.Context and projects it into executable Python classes built on the zuspec-dataclasses (zdc) runtime, so a PSS model can be loaded and driven directly from Python.

On top of the class builder, the export-api projection runs a model as a live Python object — mirroring the SystemVerilog oo_api projection: build a registry, supply an import-API implementation, then await exported actions to run their traversals (pre_solve → randomize → post_solve → activity/body).

This is an API-only capability (standalone scripts, pytest, cocotb). There is no CLI.

Quick start

From PSS source, the easiest entry point is pssc.load_pss, which returns a zuspec-be-py registry:

import asyncio
from pssc import load_pss

registry = load_pss(open("model.pss").read())   # parse + elaborate once (reusable)
ep = registry.create(seed=1)                     # a runnable, per-run instance
asyncio.run(ep.Entry())                          # run the exported action

Supplying imports (the model calling out to your code — sync or async):

class MyImports:
    def getval(self, i): return i + 5            # import solve (pure)
    async def doit(self, i): print(f"[imp] doit({i})")   # import target (awaited)

ep = registry.create(MyImports())
await ep.Entry()                                 # prints: [imp] doit(12)

Driving from a zuspec.ir.core.Context directly (any IR producer, not just PSS):

from zuspec.be.py import build_registry, ImportSpec

registry = build_registry(ctx, export_actions=["Top::Go"],
                          import_specs={"doit": ImportSpec(name="doit", is_target=True)})
ep = registry.create(MyImports(), seed=1)
await ep.Go()

Public API

Name Role
build_registry(ctx, *, export_actions, import_specs, owner_map) build a registry configured for the export-api projection
build_runtime(ctx, *, owner_map, import_names) build a plain ClassRegistry of live classes
ClassRegistry.create(imports=None, *, seed=None, root=None) factory → per-run ExportApi
ClassRegistry.emit_module(path) ship a model: emit a self-contained .py (embedded IR) that rebuilds on import, no re-parse
ExportApi per-run handle; one async method per exported action; runner() / program()
ActionResult the solved root-action instance (attribute access proxied)
ActionRunner / ActionProgram command-pattern, ordered replay
ImportSpec / ImportResolver / PssImportError import wiring (re-exported from the runtime)
IrToRuntimeBuilder the IR → live-class builder

The builder is PSS-agnostic: it consumes the canonical IR (Context.type_m) plus an action→component owner_map (derived from Comp::Action keys when not supplied), and never imports pssc.
