Python Tool

python adds Python-oriented generation and test scaffolding to an XSMP project.

When to use it

Use python when you want:

  • Python bindings or wrappers generated from XSMP content
  • starter Python test files from the wizard

How to enable it

Add this to xsmp.project:

tool 'python'

What it adds

The tool contributes:

  • Python-related generation for supported XSMP workflows
  • wizard templates for Python test assets

Typical files added by the tool include:

  • pytest.ini
  • python/<project-identifier>/test_<project-identifier>.py

Typical project snippet

project 'mission-demo'
source 'smdl'
tool 'python'

Expected result

With python enabled, XSMP Modeler can generate Python-oriented outputs and prepare the project for Python-based testing workflows around the active profile and tools.

Catalogue, namespace and component names that are Python keywords receive a leading underscore in Python. For example, namespace from becomes _from and model None becomes _None. This cannot collide with another valid XSMP name, which must start with a letter. Use explicit imports for these names, since Python excludes names beginning with an underscore from import *. The catalogue names and component UUIDs remain unchanged.
