3. Build and Setup

Task	How
Version	`PACKAGE_VERSION` env var, else `0.0.0.dev0`
Pure Python build	Default; `ENABLE_MYPYC` false or unset
Compiled build	`ENABLE_MYPYC=true` or `build-config.json` `build.enable_mypyc: true`
Stubs	`setup.py` runs `stub_generation.py` before build; writes `src/matrice/__init__.pyi` (and optionally per-module .pyi)
Install	`pip install -e .` from repo root (or from `py_matrice/`)

8. Quick Reference — Testing and Validation

Goal	File / class to use	Notes
Benchmark streaming (mock or real)	`streaming_benchmarking.py` + `examples/benchmark_example.py`	Set `use_mock=True` for no real resources; run example 1–6
Train/export/eval test harness (local)	`testing.py` → `TestingActionTracker`	Needs model family/model JSON and config path (train/export/eval)
Deploy test (load model + predict)	`testing.py` → `TestingMatriceDeploy`	Pass `load_model` and `predict` callables
Upload dataset file	`dataset.py` → `upload_file`	ZIP only
Check Docker for local runs	`docker_utils.py` → `check_docker`, `test_docker`	Optional for jobs
List/add compute	`compute.py` → `list_account_compute`, `add_on_demand_instance`	For deployment/inference

9. API Response Convention

Most SDK methods that call the backend return a tuple (data, error, message):

data: Response payload (dict/list) or None on failure.
error: Error string or None if success.
message: Human-readable status.

Example: data, err, msg = project.list_datasets(); if err: ....

10. Dependencies (runtime)

matrice_common: Session, RPC, handle_response, get_summary, dependencies_check.
Optional: matrice_data_processing (e.g. create_dataset in projects._create_dataset), matrice_streaming (e.g. Deployment in projects.list_deployments / get_deployment).
Standard: requests, Pillow (checked in __init__.py).

Use this document as the single place to locate modules, classes, and functions for implementing or testing flows without re-scanning the codebase.
