kapsl-sdk 0.1.8

Python client SDK for kapsl-runtime with IPC, shared-memory, and hybrid inference transports

kapsl-sdk

kapsl-sdk is the Python client package for kapsl-runtime, the Kapsl inference runtime for local and embedded model execution.

It provides Python bindings for the runtime's transport layer so Python applications can talk to a running kapsl-runtime process over:

• TCP / IPC client connections with KapslClient
• shared-memory transport with KapslShmClient
• hybrid IPC + shared-memory transport with KapslHybridClient

The package is intended for low-latency inference integrations where Python is orchestrating requests while the runtime performs the heavy model execution work.

Installation

pip install kapsl-sdk

What It Includes

• Python bindings backed by the Rust runtime client implementation
• support for CPython 3.9+
• transport options for local development and high-throughput deployments
• a small API surface aimed at direct integration into backend services and tools

Requirements

• A running kapsl-runtime instance
• The runtime endpoint details for your deployment
• Shared-memory transport setup if you want to use KapslShmClient or KapslHybridClient

Usage

from kapsl_sdk import KapslClient

client = KapslClient()
result = client.infer(
    model_id=0,
    shape=[1, 4],
    dtype="float32",
    data=b"...",
)

Client Types

KapslClient

General-purpose client for runtime connections over TCP, Unix sockets, or Windows named pipes depending on platform and endpoint configuration.

KapslShmClient

Shared-memory client for lower-overhead local inference workflows where request and response payloads are exchanged through shared memory.

KapslHybridClient

Hybrid client that combines shared memory for tensor payloads with IPC signaling for coordination.

Notes

• kapsl-sdk is the package name on PyPI.
• The Python import name is kapsl_sdk.
• This package is an API client, not the runtime server itself.
