openHop Core
Library / SDK BetapyMC Core
Python reimplementation of the MeshCore protocol and routing stack for building mesh nodes and applications, with encrypted messaging, identity management, event handling and optional direct SX1262 radio support over SPI. Compatible with the original MeshCore protocol. Available on PyPI as pymc-core.

- Formerly pyMC_Core; renamed to openhop_core as part of the openHop rebrand.
- Releases are published to PyPI as pymc-core rather than GitHub Releases.
- Direct hardware support targets Raspberry Pi-class systems with SX1262 SPI radios; protocol components can be used without radio extras.
- The project describes itself as protocol-compatible but not yet as optimized as the original MeshCore C++ implementation.
