Brain Python SDK

Install with python -m pip install aex-brain==2.0.0. Requires Python 3.11+; there are no runtime dependencies. Import the client from brain and generated TypedDict definitions from brain.types. The wheel includes PEP 561 type data.

import os
from contextlib import closing
from brain import Brain

brain = Brain('http://127.0.0.1:8080', os.environ['BRAIN_API_KEY'])
session = brain.create({
    'harness': 'pi', 'config': {'model': 'openai/gpt-4.1-mini', 'tools': []},
})
message = brain.send(session['id'], {'type': 'user.message', 'text': 'Hello!'})
with closing(brain.observe(session['id'])) as events:
    for event in events:
        if event['type'] == 'assistant.message':
            print(event['data']['text'])
        if event.get('input_id') != message['id']:
            continue
        if event['type'] == 'session.error':
            raise RuntimeError(event['data']['message'])
        if event['type'] == 'session.status' and event['data']['status'] == 'idle':
            break

This is a synchronous client. timeout=30 configures the socket timeout, including stream reads. Requests are never automatically retried. BrainError preserves the HTTP status, server error code, and request ID. Closing the observer does not stop execution; call interrupt(session_id) for that.

Pass runtime_tools=[RuntimeTool(...)] to create() to run Python functions in your client over an SDK-owned SSE/HTTP connection. Keep the process alive, honor context.cancelled, and call dispose() on shutdown. Use rebind() after recovery; callbacks are never automatically replayed.
