Accessing hm and hm.entities externally

Is there a way to access the Python hm and hm.entities modules outside of the in-built Python console? When working in VSCode "hm" appears to reference a different module (not related to hypermesh) and "hm.entities" is entirely unavailable. I'm working on a script that pushes and extracts data from a .hm database without it being open, but not having access to these modules has stopped me from proceeding.

    i'm pretty sure the only way you have to "push and extract" data from an .hm file is to open the model in HM and use its TCL/python APIs. Couldn't you just launch HM in batch mode and provide a python script for that?
