Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Daytona Python SDK

The Daytona interface is defined in ../../internal-docs/PLAN-SDK-V2.md. The import module and package name are daytona.

from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig

daytona = Daytona(DaytonaConfig(
    api_url="https://api.example",
    api_key="dtn_...",  # mint a project API key from the dashboard
    toolbox_url="https://toolbox.example/toolbox",
))

sandbox = daytona.create(image="python:3.12", cpu=1.0, memory=1)
result = sandbox.process.run("python -V")
print(result.exit_code, result.output)
daytona.delete(sandbox)

Surface

  • Daytona client.
  • Sandbox lifecycle: create, lazy sandbox(id), get, list, start, pause, resume, fork, delete.
  • Platform namespaces: images, snapshots, volumes, object_stores, secrets, functions.
  • Sandbox namespaces: process, fs, git, interpreter, pty, ports, lsp, computer_use.
  • Process V2: detached start(), awaited run(), serializable ProcessHandle(sandbox_id, process_id), logs(), stream_logs(), wait(), stdin(), stdin_eof(), signal-aware kill(), resize(), and optional attach().
  • Filesystem conventions: read_text, write_text, read_bytes, write_bytes, read_many, write_many, watch_dir, presigned_download_url, presigned_upload_url, and sandbox-level rotate_signing_key(); list-like APIs return {items, next_cursor} objects, watch handles drain queued SSE events via get_new_events(), and watch_dir(..., on_exit=...) reports a single exit notification that callers can also observe through wait_for_exit() / exit_error. Pre-signed file URLs stay proxy-backed: linux uses /vms/:id/signing-key, GPU uses /gpu/vms/:id/signing-key, windows raises UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION because it has no toolbox, and a direct daemon toolbox_url override is rejected here because only the proxy can verify and strip signature / expires before forwarding to the daemon.
  • Typed errors: status-level base classes and daemon code-specific subclasses; every SDK error exposes code and source.

The ports namespace surfaces in-guest listener discovery (list(), is_in_use(port)). lsp exposes daemon-managed language-server lifecycle, document/workspace symbol lookup, and completions. computer_use targets the lazy addon routes for screenshots, mouse/keyboard control, display/window metadata, accessibility inspection/actions, and recording download.

The interpreter namespace runs code through the V2 wire shape POST /processes {kind:"code", code, language, sessionId?} — Jupyter kernels behind the daemon's kernel seam (python via ipykernel, TS/JS via deno). timeout_ms is client-side: code executions carry no server deadline, so on expiry the SDK interrupts the kernel (^C semantics) and returns the interrupted result. Environments that cannot provision a kernel raise KernelUnavailableError; the live test skips there.

Git clone(), pull(), and push() use a 30-minute client deadline by default so long-running repo operations can finish without falling back to an unbounded read timeout. Pass timeout= (seconds) to override it per call.

Local verification

nix develop .#python --command bash -c \
  "cd clients/python && \
   uv venv && uv pip install -e '.[dev]' && .venv/bin/python -m pytest -x -q"

The live e2e now picks ephemeral toolbox/control ports by default (override with RLP_SDKPY_TOOLBOX_PORT / RLP_SDKPY_CONTROL_PORT) and waits for a real GET /version 200 before running. It still must launch the daemon with a system PATH (a dev-shell PATH would build the kernel venv on nix python, whose manylinux-wheel story is broken).
