# Honcho Python SDK Migration (v1.6.0 → v2.0.0) ## Overview This skill migrates code from `honcho` Python SDK v1.6.0 to v2.0.0 (required for Honcho 3.0.0+). **Key breaking changes:** - `AsyncHoncho`/`AsyncPeer`/`AsyncSession` removed → use `.aio` accessor - "Observation" → "Conclusion" terminology - `Representation` class removed (returns `str` now) - `get_config`/`set_config` → `get_configuration`/`set_configuration` - Streaming via `chat_stream()` instead of `chat(stream=True)` - `poll_deriver_status()` removed - `.core` property removed ## Quick Migration ### 1. Update async architecture ```python # Before from honcho import AsyncHoncho, AsyncPeer, AsyncSession async_client = AsyncHoncho() peer = await async_client.peer("user-123") response = await peer.chat("query") # After from honcho import Honcho client = Honcho() peer = await client.aio.peer("user-123") response = await peer.aio.chat("query") # Async iteration async for p in client.aio.peers(): print(p.id) ``` ### 2. Replace observations with conclusions ```python # Before from honcho import Observation, ObservationScope, AsyncObservationScope scope = peer.observations scope = peer.observations_of("other-peer") rep = scope.get_representation() # After from honcho import Conclusion, ConclusionScope, ConclusionScopeAio scope = peer.conclusions scope = peer.conclusions_of("other-peer") rep = scope.representation() # Returns str ``` ### 3. Update representation handling ```python # Before from honcho import Representation, ExplicitObservation, DeductiveObservation rep: Representation = peer.working_rep() print(rep.explicit) print(rep.deductive) if rep.is_empty(): print("No observations") # After rep: str = peer.representation() print(rep) # Just a string now if not rep: print("No conclusions") ``` ### 4. Rename configuration methods ```python # Before config = peer.get_config() peer.set_config({"observe_me": False}) session.get_config() client.get_config() # After from honcho.api_types import PeerConfig, SessionConfiguration, WorkspaceConfiguration config = peer.get_configuration() peer.set_configuration(PeerConfig(observe_me=False)) session.get_configuration() client.get_configuration() ``` ### 5. Update method names ```python # Before peer.working_rep() peer.get_context() peer.get_sessions() session.get_context() session.get_summaries() session.get_messages() session.get_peers() session.get_peer_config() client.get_peers() client.get_sessions() client.get_workspaces() # After peer.representation() peer.context() peer.sessions() session.context() session.summaries() session.messages() session.peers() session.get_peer_configuration() client.peers() client.sessions() client.workspaces() ``` ### 6. Update streaming ```python # Before response = peer.chat("query", stream=True) for chunk in response: print(chunk, end="") # After stream = peer.chat_stream("query") for chunk in stream: print(chunk, end="") ``` ### 7. Update queue status (formerly deriver) ```python # Before from honcho_core.types import DeriverStatus status = client.get_deriver_status() status = client.poll_deriver_status(timeout=300.0) # Removed! # After from honcho.api_types import QueueStatusResponse status = client.queue_status() # poll_deriver_status removed - implement polling manually if needed ``` ### 8. Update representation parameters ```python # Before rep = peer.working_rep( include_most_derived=True, max_observations=50 ) # After rep = peer.representation( include_most_frequent=True, max_conclusions=50 ) ``` ### 9. Move update_message to session ```python # Before updated = client.update_message(message=msg, metadata={"key": "value"}, session="sess-id") # After updated = session.update_message(message=msg, metadata={"key": "value"}) ``` ### 10. Update card() return type ```python # Before card: str = peer.card() # Returns str # After card: list[str] | None = peer.card() # Returns list[str] | None if card: print("\n".join(card)) ``` ## Quick Reference Table | v1.6.0 | v2.0.0 | |--------|--------| | `AsyncHoncho()` | `Honcho()` + `.aio` accessor | | `AsyncPeer` | `Peer` + `.aio` accessor | | `AsyncSession` | `Session` + `.aio` accessor | | `Observation` | `Conclusion` | | `ObservationScope` | `ConclusionScope` | | `AsyncObservationScope` | `ConclusionScopeAio` | | `Representation` | `str` | | `.observations` | `.conclusions` | | `.observations_of()` | `.conclusions_of()` | | `.get_config()` | `.get_configuration()` | | `.set_config()` | `.set_configuration()` | | `.working_rep()` | `.representation()` | | `.get_context()` | `.context()` | | `.get_sessions()` | `.sessions()` | | `.get_peers()` | `.peers()` | | `.get_messages()` | `.messages()` | | `.get_summaries()` | `.summaries()` | | `.get_deriver_status()` | `.queue_status()` | | `.poll_deriver_status()` | *(removed)* | | `.get_peer_config()` | `.get_peer_configuration()` | | `.set_peer_config()` | `.set_peer_configuration()` | | `client.update_message()` | `session.update_message()` | | `chat(stream=True)` | `chat_stream()` | | `include_most_derived=` | `include_most_frequent=` | | `max_observations=` | `max_conclusions=` | | `last_user_message=` | `search_query=` | | `config=` | `configuration=` | | `PeerContext` | `PeerContextResponse` | | `DeriverStatus` | `QueueStatusResponse` | | `client.core` | *(removed)* | ## Detailed Reference For comprehensive details on each change, see: - [DETAILED-CHANGES.md](DETAILED-CHANGES.md) - Full API change documentation - [MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md](MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md) - Step-by-step checklist ## New Exception Types ```python from honcho import ( HonchoError, APIError, BadRequestError, AuthenticationError, PermissionDeniedError, NotFoundError, ConflictError, UnprocessableEntityError, RateLimitError, ServerError, TimeoutError, ConnectionError, ) ``` ## New Import Locations ```python # Configuration types from honcho.api_types import ( PeerConfig, SessionConfiguration, WorkspaceConfiguration, SessionPeerConfig, QueueStatusResponse, PeerContextResponse, ) # Async type hints from honcho import HonchoAio, PeerAio, SessionAio # Message types (note: Params is plural now) from honcho import Message, MessageCreateParams ```
