Wokwi Python Client 🚀

Typed, asyncio-friendly Python SDK for the Wokwi Simulation API

PyPI version Python versions CI License: MIT

TL;DR: Run and control your Wokwi simulations from Python with first-class type hints and zero boilerplate.


Wokwi is a platform for creating and running simulations of electronic circuits and embedded systems. It supports a wide range of hardware platforms, including ESP32 family, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32 and more.In addition, it supports a wide range of peripherals, including sensors, displays, motors, and debugging tools.

Wokwi Python Client is a Python SDK for the Wokwi Simulation API. It allows you to run and control your Wokwi simulations from Python in a typed, asyncio-friendly way. You can use it to automate your embedded testing and development workflows.

Installation requirements

Install the library with:

pip install wokwi-client

Running the examples

The basic example is in the examples/hello_esp32/main.py file. It shows how to:

  • Connect to the Wokwi Simulator
  • Upload a diagram and firmware files
  • Start a simulation
  • Monitor serial output asynchronously

You can run the example with:

pip install -e .[dev]
python -m examples.hello_esp32.main

For more examples, see the examples directory.

Documentation
