This library provides a comprehensive collection of Python functions and XML structures for integrating with TallyPrime, the leading accounting and business management software. It serves as a developer toolkit for building applications, automations, and integrations that interact with Tally's XML API.

The library includes ready-to-use functions for common Tally operations, well-structured XML request templates, and extensive documentation to help developers create robust Tally-based solutions without having to learn the intricacies of Tally's XML API from scratch.

Python TallyClient Class (xmlFunctions.py): A comprehensive client library with methods for:

• Data Retrieval: Get companies, ledgers, stock items, vouchers, groups, and reports
• Master Data Management: Create and manage ledgers, stock items, companies, and units
• Transaction Processing: Create vouchers (receipts, journals), update and cancel transactions
• Reports & Analytics: Generate sales reports, payslips, bill receivables, stock aging, and more
• Company Configuration: Set up GST, configure features, and manage company settings

Experimental TDL Files: A collection of cutting-edge Tally Definition Language (TDL) files that push the boundaries of Tally integration:

• Advanced API Integrations: TDLs that can be loaded directly into Tally for enhanced control
• Custom Function Libraries: Extended functionality beyond default Tally capabilities
• Voucher Processing: Advanced voucher manipulation and filtering
• Company Management: Automated company import and configuration
• Report Customization: Custom report definitions and data extraction
• AI Integration Experiments: TDLs designed to work with AI services (Claude, AI Studio)

These experimental TDLs represent a new approach to Tally integration - by placing them in specific directories and executing through APIs, developers can gain significantly more control over Tally than what's typically allowed by default.

Documentation & References: Comprehensive developer materials including:

• Tally Developer Reference Guide: Complete technical documentation for TDL and XML API
• TDL Reference Manual: Official reference from a previous Tally version (PDF format)
• Tally Functions Guide: Comprehensive PDF documenting all available Tally functions
• Troubleshooting Guides: Common issues and solutions for Tally integration
• XML API Documentation: Detailed specifications for Tally's XML interface

This library includes experimental TDL files that represent a breakthrough approach to Tally integration. Unlike traditional XML API calls, these TDLs can be:

• Dynamically Loaded: Placed in specific Tally directories and loaded at runtime
• API Executed: Triggered through API calls for enhanced automation
• Deeply Integrated: Access internal Tally functions not exposed through standard XML API
• Highly Customizable: Create entirely new workflows and business logic within Tally

The experimental TDL collection includes:

• AI Service Integration: Direct connections to Claude and AI Studio for intelligent processing
• Advanced Voucher Operations: Complex filtering, searching, and manipulation capabilities
• Custom Report Generation: Reports that go beyond standard Tally reporting limitations
• Company Automation: Automated company setup and configuration processes
• Extended API Functions: Access to Tally functions not available through traditional methods

Note: These experimental TDLs are still under active development and may require specific Tally configurations or versions to function properly.

Install directly from the pre-built wheel file:

pip install dist/tally_integration-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

Clone and install from the repository:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/aadil-sengupta/Tally.Py.git
cd Tally.Py

# Install the package
pip install -e .

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Tally.ERP 9 or TallyPrime with XML API enabled
• Network access to Tally server (default: localhost:9000)
• requests library (automatically installed as dependency)

from tally_integration import TallyClient, TallyConnectionError

# Initialize client (default: http://localhost:9000)
client = TallyClient()

# For remote Tally server:
# client = TallyClient(tally_url="http://192.168.1.100", tally_port=9000)

try:
    # Test connection
    if client.test_connection():
        print("✓ Connected to Tally!")
        
        # Get company information
        company_info = client.get_current_company()
        print("Current company info retrieved")
        
        # Create a new ledger
        response = client.create_ledger(
            name="Test API Customer",
            parent="Sundry Debtors",
            address="123 Test Street, Test City",
            mobile="9999999999"
        )
        print("✓ New ledger created!")
        
    else:
        print("✗ Cannot connect to Tally. Please ensure Tally is running.")
        
except TallyConnectionError as e:
    print(f"Connection error: {e}")
