PyPI version Maintenance Maintainer PyPI pyversions PyPI download month

The python client for fluss, the Arkitekt workflow service: designing, storing and running workflows (flows) that wire the actions of your apps together.

Installation

pip install fluss

The flow executor is an optional extra, because it needs rekuest while the plain client does not:

pip install "fluss[engine]"   # run flows (fluss.engine)
pip install "fluss[python]"   # also run flows written as Python source

With arkitekt, pip install "arkitekt[rekuest,fluss]" brings it in.

Design

A flow is a graph: argument nodes feed reactive and action nodes, whose outputs reach return nodes. Flows live in workspaces, and every execution of a flow is a run. fluss is the client for that graph — it queries and mutates flows, workspaces and runs on the fluss server — and fluss.engine is what executes one.

Usage

Every fluss operation is a method of the Fluss client, in a blocking and an a-prefixed async flavour (fluss.get_flow(id), await fluss.aget_flow(id)).

In an arkitekt app

Add the service to your app and ask for fluss: Fluss; the client is injected by annotation. Flows and runs travel between actions by id (@fluss/flow, @fluss/run, @fluss/pythonflow, @fluss/pythonrun), so an action can take and return them directly:

from arkitekt import App, run
from fluss import Fluss, fluss_service
from fluss.api.schema import Flow

app = App("flow-inspector", "0.1.0", services=[fluss_service])


@app.action
def describe_flow(flow: Flow, fluss: Fluss) -> str:
    """Describe Flow"""
    return f"{flow.title} in workspace {flow.workspace.id}"


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run(app)

An app built with the fluss service also offers the generic Run Flow action (interface run_flow), so it can execute any flow it is handed (Run Python Flow too, with the python extra).

From a script

from arkitekt import easy
from fluss import fluss_service

with easy("my-script", fluss_service) as fluss:
    for flow in fluss.flows(limit=10):
        print(flow.id, flow.title)

The engine

fluss.engine executes a flow as a generic rekuest action: given a flow and a dict of arguments it yields the flow's returns, so a workflow can be called like any other action.

A flow run is registered as a rekuest workflow: if the agent running it dies, it is resumed, and the node calls that already finished return their recorded results instead of running again. Each call is keyed by its node and how often that node ran, so concurrent branches are found again whichever order they finish in.

from fluss.engine import run_flow, arun_flow

It imports rekuest at module level, so install fluss[engine] to use it. Importing plain fluss never requires rekuest.

Testing

uv run pytest -m "not integration"   # no server needed
uv run pytest -m integration          # a real fluss server via dokker
