Argus Node

argus-node is the camera node runtime for the distributed camera system. It is responsible for loading camera configuration, running the node loop, collecting frames, processing them through user-provided logic, and reporting back to the coordinator.

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• uv for local development

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install argus-node

For local development:

uv sync --dev

Package Layout

• argus/camera.py - camera capture and frame timing
• argus/coordinator.py - coordinator communication
• argus/node_runtime.py - node execution lifecycle
• argus/config.py - runtime configuration
• argus/logging_config.py - logging setup
• argus/metrics.py - Prometheus metrics

Development

Install dependencies and run the test suite from src/argus:

uv sync --locked --dev
uv run pytest

Build a wheel locally:

uv build

The build artifacts are written to src/argus/dist/.
