Python bindings for Xray-core.

You have to install the following tools to be able to install this package successfully.

• go in your PATH. go 1.20.0 and above is recommended. To check go is ready, type go version. Also, if google service is blocked in your region(such as Mainland China), you have to configure your GOPROXY to be able to pull go packages. For Chinese users, refer to goproxy.cn for more information.

• cmake in your PATH. To check cmake is ready, type cmake --version.

• A working GNU C++ compiler(i.e. GNU C++ toolchains). To check GNU C++ compiler is ready, type g++ --version. These tools should have been installed in Linux or macOS by default. If you don't have GNU C++ toolchains(especially for Windows users) anyway:

  • For Linux users: type sudo apt update && sudo apt install g++ and that should work out fine.
  • For Windows users: install MinGW-w64 or Cygwin and make sure you have add them to PATH.

This repository, including the package that distributes to pypi, contains Xray-core source code that's been modified to build the binding and specific API. If without explicitly remark, the version of this package corresponds to the version of the origin source code tag, so the binding will have full features as the original go distribution will have. And due to its backward compatibility, there's no plan to generate bindings for older release of Xray-core.

To make installation of this package easier, I didn't add the original Xray-core source code as a submodule. To track what modifications have been made to the source code, you can compare it with the same version under Python binding and corresponding go repository.

Xray-core-python works on all major platform with all Python version(Python 3).

Below are tested build in github actions.
