litterbox-python-sdk 0.0.1

Async Python client for Litterbox.

litterbox-python-sdk

Async Python client for the Litterbox host API.

The SDK provisions sandbox VMs, reads host state, deletes hosts, and returns the SSH connection details a caller needs. It speaks HTTP only: SSH sessions, file transfer, command execution, and retry orchestration belong in the caller.

Install

pip install litterbox-python-sdk
uv add litterbox-python-sdk

Usage

from litterbox_sdk import SandboxAPI

sandbox = SandboxAPI(
    base_url="https://sandbox.internal.ts.net",
    token="...",
    timeout=30.0,
)

try:
    host = await sandbox.create_host(
        image="ghcr.io/litterbox/sandbox:abc123",
        env={"FOO": "bar"},
        idempotency_key="agent-run-42",
    )
    # Use host.ssh_host, host.ssh_port, and host.known_hosts with
    # asyncssh or another SSH client.
finally:
    await sandbox.delete_host(host.id)
    await sandbox.aclose()

SandboxAPI.from_env(prefix="SANDBOX_") reads SANDBOX_SERVICE_URL, SANDBOX_SERVICE_TOKEN, and optional SANDBOX_SERVICE_TIMEOUT.

Contract

Public exports live in litterbox_sdk:

• SandboxAPI
• SandboxHost
• SandboxAPIError and typed subclasses for auth, not found, conflict, unavailable, and unclassified response errors

Supported host operations:

• create_host
• get_host
• attach
• list_hosts
• delete_host
• aclose

create_host supports the service's optional image, env, expires_at, and Idempotency-Key inputs.

The SDK does not mint Tailscale auth keys, manage ACLs, establish SSH, provision Linux users, transfer files, or run remote commands.

Development

uv run pytest

Tests use respx to fake the Litterbox HTTP API. They do not need a real network, VM provider, or Litterbox service.
