ScaleBox Python SDK - A multi-language code execution sandbox with Python, R, Node.js, Deno/TypeScript, Java, and Bash support

Scalebox Python SDK

中文文档

A Python SDK for executing multi-language code in a controlled sandbox environment, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous modes, along with multi-language kernels (Python, R, Node.js, Deno/TypeScript, Java/IJAVA, Bash). Comprehensive real-world test cases and scripts are provided.

Features

• Multi-language kernels: Python, R, Node.js, Deno/TypeScript, Java/IJAVA, Bash
• Execution modes: Synchronous Sandbox and asynchronous AsyncSandbox
• Persistent context: Retain variables/state across multiple executions
• Callback subscriptions: stdout, stderr, results, and errors
• Rich result formats: text, html, markdown, svg, png, jpeg, pdf, latex, json, javascript, chart, data, and more
• Real-world testing: Comprehensive test coverage for sync/async and multi-language examples

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Accessible Scalebox environment or local service

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/scalebox-dev/scalebox-sdk-python.git
cd scalebox-sdk-python

# Recommended: use a virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r scalebox/requirements.txt

If you're using the package directly from source (not via pip), add the scalebox directory to your Python path or copy it to your venv's site-packages:

cp -r scalebox venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/

Configuration

Credentials can be read from environment variables or a .env file:

• SBX_API_KEY

Example:

# .env
SBX_API_KEY=***

Or:

export SBX_API_KEY=***

Optional: Use python-dotenv to automatically load .env:

pip install python-dotenv

Quick Start (Synchronous)

from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv()
from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox

sandbox = Sandbox.create()  # Default lifetime: 5 minutes
execution = sandbox.run_code("print('hello world')", language="python")
print(execution.logs.stdout)

files = sandbox.files.list("/")
print(files)

Quick Start (Asynchronous)

import asyncio
from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv()
from scalebox.code_interpreter import AsyncSandbox

async def main():
    sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create()
    exec_ = await sandbox.run_code("print('async hello')", language="python")
    print(exec_.logs.stdout)

asyncio.run(main())

Multi-Language Examples

• Python: language="python"
• R: language="r"
• Node.js: language="nodejs"
• Deno/TypeScript: language="typescript"
• Java (IJAVA/pure Java): language="ijava" or language="java"
• Bash: language="bash"

Node.js Example:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.create()
code = """
console.log("Hello from Node.js!");
const x = 1 + 2; console.log(`x=${x}`);
"""
result = sbx.run_code(code, language="nodejs")
print(result.logs.stdout)

R Example:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.create()
code = """
print("Hello from R!")
x <- mean(c(1,2,3,4,5))
print(paste("mean:", x))
"""
res = sbx.run_code(code, language="r")
print(res.logs.stdout)

Deno/TypeScript Example:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.create()
ts = """
console.log("Hello from Deno/TypeScript!")
const nums: number[] = [1,2,3]
console.log(nums.reduce((a,b)=>a+b, 0))
"""
res = sbx.run_code(ts, language="typescript")
print(res.logs.stdout)

Java/IJAVA Example:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.create()
code = """
System.out.println("Hello from IJAVA!");
int a = 10, b = 20; System.out.println(a + b);
"""
res = sbx.run_code(code, language="java")
print(res.logs.stdout)

Bash Example:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.create()
res = sbx.run_code("echo 'Hello from Bash'", language="bash")
print(res.logs.stdout)

Context Management

Context allows you to reuse variables/state across multiple executions:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.create()
ctx = sbx.create_code_context(language="python", cwd="/tmp")

sbx.run_code("counter = 0", context=ctx)
sbx.run_code("counter += 1; print(counter)", context=ctx)
# Must clean up when done
sbx.destroy_context(ctx)

Async API:

from scalebox.code_interpreter import AsyncSandbox

async def demo():
    sbx = await AsyncSandbox.create()
    ctx = await sbx.create_code_context(language="python", cwd="/tmp")
    await sbx.run_code("counter = 0", context=ctx)
    await sbx.run_code("counter += 1; print(counter)", context=ctx)
    await sbx.destroy_context(ctx)

Callbacks (Optional)

from scalebox.code_interpreter import Sandbox
from scalebox.code_interpreter import OutputMessage, Result, ExecutionError

sbx = Sandbox.create()

def on_stdout(msg: OutputMessage):
    print("STDOUT:", msg.content)

def on_stderr(msg: OutputMessage):
    print("STDERR:", msg.content)

def on_result(res: Result):
    print("RESULT formats:", list(res.formats()))

def on_error(err: ExecutionError):
    print("ERROR:", err.name, err.value)

sbx.run_code(
    "print('with callbacks')",
    language="python",
    on_stdout=on_stdout,
    on_stderr=on_stderr,
    on_result=on_result,
    on_error=on_error,
)

Result Formats

Result may contain the following data fields:

• text, html, markdown, svg, png, jpeg, pdf, latex
• json_data, javascript, data, chart
• execution_count, is_main_result, extra

Use list(result.formats()) to view available formats.

Running Tests

The test/ directory contains comprehensive real-world use cases (not unittest-style, direct script-style), covering:

• Synchronous and asynchronous comprehensive test cases
• Multi-language kernels (Python, R, Node.js, Deno/TypeScript, Java/IJAVA, Bash)
• Context management, callbacks, and result formats

Run syntax checks:

cd test
python3 -m py_compile test_code_interpreter_sync_comprehensive.py
python3 -m py_compile test_code_interpreter_async_comprehensive.py

It's recommended to prepare dependencies in a virtual environment and install language runtimes (such as R, Node, Deno, JDK/IJAVA, etc.) as needed, ensuring each kernel can be executed by the backend.

Version Management

This project uses automated version management with support for Semantic Versioning.

🚀 Automatic Version Bumping

Use the built-in script to bump versions:

# Bump patch version (0.1.1 -> 0.1.2)
python scripts/bump_version.py patch

# Bump minor version (0.1.1 -> 0.2.0)
python scripts/bump_version.py minor

# Bump major version (0.1.1 -> 1.0.0)
python scripts/bump_version.py major

📦 Automated Release Process

🚀 Method 1: GitHub Actions One-Click Bump (Recommended)

1. Navigate to GitHub Actions page
2. Select "CI/CD Pipeline" workflow
3. Click "Run workflow" button
4. Select version type:
   • patch: Patch version (0.1.1 → 0.1.2)
   • minor: Minor version (0.1.1 → 0.2.0)
   • major: Major version (0.1.1 → 1.0.0)
5. Select auto-commit option
6. Click run - The system will automatically complete all steps!

🔧 Method 2: Local Script Bump

1. Version Bump: Use bump_version.py script
2. GitHub Actions: Automatically build and publish to PyPI
3. Trigger Conditions:
   • Push to main branch
   • Create v* tag (e.g., v0.1.2)

🔧 Version File Synchronization

The script automatically updates versions in the following files:

• scalebox/__init__.py
• scalebox/version.py
• pyproject.toml
• CHANGELOG.md (optional)

📋 Release Steps

# 1. Bump version
python scripts/bump_version.py patch

# 2. Check changes
git diff

# 3. Commit changes
git add .
git commit -m "Bump version to 0.1.2"

# 4. Push and create tag
git push origin main
git push origin --tags

# 5. GitHub Actions will automatically publish to PyPI

🏷️ Version Rules

• MAJOR: Incompatible API changes
• MINOR: Backward-compatible feature additions
• PATCH: Backward-compatible bug fixes

Troubleshooting

• Import/dependency errors: Ensure venv is activated and all required dependencies from scalebox/requirements.txt are installed
• ModuleNotFoundError: Add the project root path to sys.path in test scripts, or run from the project root directory
• External kernels unavailable: Ensure the environment has the corresponding language runtime installed (R/Node/Deno/JDK) and the backend has enabled that kernel
• Timeout/network issues: Check network connectivity and backend service accessibility, increase timeout/request_timeout if necessary
