concave-sandbox 0.1.42

Python SDK for the Concave sandbox service - isolated code execution environments

What's this?

Run code safely in isolated cloud containers. Run untrusted code, train RL agents, power autonomous research systems, or build interactive compute experiences—all in secure, high-performance sandboxes.

Features

• Secure Isolation: Complete VM-level isolation using Firecracker microVMs—every sandbox runs in its own kernel (unlike Docker containers that share the host kernel)
• Multi-Language: Run Python and Node.js code with a unified API
• Blazing Fast: Full VM boot up in under 200ms
• Simple API: Clean, intuitive interface with easy-to-use client SDKs
• Production Ready: Comprehensive error handling and type hints

Installation

pip install concave-sandbox

Quick Start

Get Your API Key

Sign up at concave.ai to get your API key.

Simple Example

from concave import sandbox

with sandbox(name="my-sandbox", api_key="cnc_your_api_key_here") as sbx:
    result = sbx.run("print('Hello from Concave!')")
    print(result.stdout)  # Hello from Concave!

# Sandbox is automatically deleted when done

Multi-Language Support

Run code in Python or Node.js:

from concave import sandbox

with sandbox(name="multi-lang", api_key="cnc_your_api_key_here") as sbx:
    # Run Python code (language="python" is default)
    result = sbx.run("print('Hello from Python!')")
    print(result.stdout)  # Hello from Python!
    
    # Run Node.js code
    result = sbx.run("console.log('Hello from Node.js!')", language="nodejs")
    print(result.stdout)  # Hello from Node.js!

Note: Python runtime is recommended for better performance. The Node.js runtime typically has slower cold start times and higher overhead.

Manual Cleanup

If you prefer to manage the sandbox lifecycle yourself:

from concave import Sandbox

sbx = Sandbox.create(name="my-sandbox", api_key="cnc_your_api_key_here")

# Execute shell commands
result = sbx.execute("uname -a")
print(result.stdout)  # Linux ...

# Run Python code (language="python" is default)
result = sbx.run("print('Hello from Python!')")
print(result.stdout)  # Hello from Python!

# Run Node.js code
result = sbx.run("console.log(process.version)", language="nodejs")
print(result.stdout)  # v18.20.4

# Clean up
sbx.delete()
