Xray-core-python

Python bindings for Xray-core.

Install

Prebuilt binary wheels include the native Go and C++ binding, so a supported installation does not require Go, CMake, or a C++ compiler.

pip install Xray-core

Binary wheels are published for Linux x86-64 and ARM64, Windows x86-64 and ARM64, and macOS Intel and Apple Silicon.

Build from Source

A source distribution is also published as a fallback. If pip cannot find a compatible wheel, it may build the native binding from source. A source build requires:

• Go 1.26 or newer in PATH.
• A working C and C++ compiler toolchain.
• MinGW-w64 on Windows x86-64, or LLVM-MinGW on Windows ARM64, with gcc and g++ available in PATH.

The isolated Python build environment installs CMake, pybind11, setuptools, and wheel automatically. To build directly from a repository checkout:

pip install .

Vendored Xray-core Source

The source distribution vendors an exact Xray-core release so users can build the native binding without resolving a Git submodule. Binding-owned Go files are maintained separately from upstream-owned files, and a checked-in SHA-256 manifest makes unexpected changes fail validation.

UPSTREAM_VERSION, UPSTREAM_COMMIT, and the files under upstream/ record the exact source provenance.

Binary Wheel Platforms

The distributions are built and tested in GitHub Actions.
