code-sandbox-sdk 1.0.1

Python SDK for Code Sandbox API

Code Sandbox Python SDK

Use the Code Sandbox API to run code in 10+ languages from Python.

Install

pip install code-sandbox-sdk

Or from source in this repo:

pip install -e packages/python-sdk

Usage

Cloud (API key required):

from code_sandbox import Client

client = Client(api_key="your-api-key")

# Execute code
result = client.execute(language="python", code="print(2 + 2)")
print(result.stdout)   # 4
print(result.success)  # True
print(result.exit_code)  # 0

# List runtimes
for r in client.runtimes():
    print(r.language, r.version)

Local Piston (no API key):

from code_sandbox import create_local_client

client = create_local_client(base_url="http://localhost:2000/api/v2")
result = client.execute(language="python", code="print(2 + 2)")
print(result.stdout)   # 4
# If nothing prints, check result.success, result.error, result.stderr

Troubleshooting local Piston: If result.stdout is empty, always check result.error and result.stderr — they will show the real error (e.g. "runtime is unknown" means you need to install the Python runtime inside the Piston container using the Piston CLI). Run the test script: python test_local.py (from this package directory) to see success/stdout/stderr/error.

API

• Client(api_key, base_url=None) – Create a client. base_url defaults to http://localhost:3001.
• create_local_client(base_url=None) – Create a client for local Piston (Docker). No API key required.
• client.execute(language, code, stdin=None, version=None) – Run code. Returns an ExecuteResult with success, stdout, stderr, exit_code, run_time_ms, error, compile_output.
• client.runtimes() – List supported languages and versions. Returns a list of Runtime objects with language, version, aliases.

Publishing to PyPI

For maintainers: to upload a new version to PyPI, build and upload with:

pip install build twine
python -m build
twine upload dist/* -u __token__ -p <PYPI_API_TOKEN>

PyPI API token (for later reference; keep secure, do not commit to a public repo):

pypi-AgEIcHlwaS5vcmcCJDNmM2ZlNmFmLTYxYmItNGRmYS04NDJlLWI2NzY1YWJlNjI5ZgACKlszLCJlMWZjMmY1NS05NGE0LTRmZDMtYTY0OS05MTdjMzRlMTQ4NDkiXQAABiBsLP17pnp737nYcpNRSdYRDWF8IB6vXD4BqqmjFOVRLw

Or set TWINE_USERNAME=__token__ and TWINE_PASSWORD to the token above when running twine upload dist/*.
