rag-python 0.2.0

Production-grade RAG for Python: multi-LLM, query rewriting, reranking, guardrails, and evaluation.

rag-python

Features

• Document pipeline: loaders → cleaning → chunking → embeddings → ChromaDB
• Query pipeline: rewriting → multi-query retrieval → reranking
• Generation with guardrails (prompt injection + hallucination checks)
• Evaluation scores + self-correction retry loop
• LLM providers: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama

---

Install

pip install rag-python
# or from source
pip install -e .
# with reranking + extra providers
pip install -e ".[rerank,local,anthropic,gemini,all]"

Quickstart

from rag_python import RAG

rag = RAG(
    llm_provider="openai",
    llm_model="gpt-4o-mini",
    embedding_provider="openai",
    embedding_model="text-embedding-3-small",
)

rag.ingest(["./data"], reindex=True)
answer = rag.query("How many days of annual leave?")
print(answer.text)

CLI

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
rag-python ingest ./data --reindex
rag-python query "How many days of annual leave?" -v
