Install

pip install podflare

Quickstart

from podflare import Sandbox

# Create a sandbox (persistent Python REPL, preloaded libs on python-datasci)
sbx = Sandbox(template="python-datasci")

# Execute code — state persists across calls
sbx.run_code("x = 42")
print(sbx.run_code("print(x * 2)").stdout)  # "84"

# Fork — spawn N copies of the running sandbox
children = sbx.fork(n=5)
children[0].run_code("x = 100")   # isolated per branch

# Merge a branch back into the parent
sbx.merge_into(children[0])

# Upload + download files
sbx.upload("data.csv", open("local.csv", "rb").read())
sbx.run_code("import pandas as pd; df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')")

# Destroy
sbx.close()

Configuration

Env var	Default	What it does
PODFLARE_API_KEY	(none — required)	Bearer token from the dashboard (pf_live_...).
PODFLARE_HOSTD_URL	https://api.podflare.ai	Override for self-hosted or staging deployments.

    host="https://api.podflare.ai",
    api_key="pf_live_...",
    template="default",
)

Streaming

with Sandbox() as s:
    for ev in s.run_code_stream("for i in range(3): print(i)"):
        if ev.type == "stdout":
            print(ev.data, flush=True)
