hotcell (Python SDK)
Dependency-free Python client for the hotcell self-hostable agent sandbox daemon. Mirrors the TypeScript SDK surface (snake_cased) so the same workflows work from either language.
from hotcell import HotcellClient
client = HotcellClient(endpoint="http://127.0.0.1:4750") # or $HOTCELL_ENDPOINT
sandbox = client.get_sandbox() # create a fresh sandbox
# run a command
result = sandbox.exec("python3 -c 'print(2 + 2)'")
print(result.stdout, result.exit_code) # "4\n" 0
# files
sandbox.write_file("/workspace/hi.txt", "hello")
print(sandbox.read_file("/workspace/hi.txt")) # "hello"
# stateful code interpreter
ctx = sandbox.create_code_context(language="python")
ctx.run_code("x = 21")
print(ctx.run_code("x * 2").results[0].text) # "42"
# metrics + cost
m = sandbox.metrics()
print(m.cost.total, m.usage.cpu_seconds)
sandbox.destroy()
Standard library only (urllib, json) — no third-party dependencies. Requires
Python ≥ 3.9 and a running hotcell daemon.
