The Python client package contains generated MXAccess Gateway protobuf bindings, the mxgateway package scaffold, and the mxgw-py test CLI scaffold. The package uses the shared proto inputs documented in ../../docs/client-proto-generation.md so gateway and client contracts stay in sync.

Layout

clients/python/
  pyproject.toml
  generate-proto.ps1
  src/mxgateway/
  src/mxgateway/generated/
  src/mxgateway_cli/
  tests/

src/mxgateway/generated contains code produced by grpc_tools.protoc. Do not edit generated files by hand.

Regenerating Protobuf Bindings

Run generation after the shared .proto files or the Python output path changes:

./generate-proto.ps1

The script uses the Python tool path recorded in ../../docs/toolchain-links.md.

Build And Test

Run the Python checks from clients/python:

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m pytest
python -m pip wheel . --no-deps --wheel-dir "$env:TEMP\mxgateway-python-wheel"

The scaffold tests import the generated gateway and worker stubs and exercise the deterministic CLI version output.

CLI

The scaffold CLI exposes version information:

mxgw-py version --json

Additional commands are implemented with the async client/session wrapper work.
