sciplex-core 0.1.1

Core logic for Sciplex visual programming - models, controllers, and utilities

sciplex-core

Core models, controllers, utilities, and default node libraries for Sciplex visual programming (desktop, server, and web variants). Packaged for reuse as a PyPI library.

Installation

Python 3.11+ is required.

pip install sciplex-core

For local development:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick start

from pathlib import Path
from importlib.resources import files

from sciplex_core.controller.scene_controller import SceneController
from sciplex_core.utils.library_loader import LibraryLoader

# Where user libraries and projects will be stored
base_dir = Path.home() / "Sciplex"
base_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

# Copy packaged default libraries into the user's workspace and load them
default_lib_source = files("sciplex_core.libraries.default")
loader = LibraryLoader(str(base_dir))
loader.setup_libraries_folder(str(default_lib_source))
loader.load_all_libraries()

# Create a scene controller and initialize a project
controller = SceneController(base_dir=str(base_dir))
controller.create_new_project(str(base_dir / "projects" / "example.sciplex"))

Authoring nodes

Users can build custom node libraries with the public API exposed via sciplex:

from sciplex import Attribute, nodify, workspace

@nodify(icon="function", scale=Attribute("doublespinbox", value=1.0))
def Scale(table, scale: float = 1.0):
    return table * scale

# Share data across nodes
workspace["my_df"] = ...

Functions decorated with @nodify gain inputs/outputs from type hints and register themselves with the runtime library model.

Package structure

• controller/ — Scene, node, edge controllers plus event/clipboard abstractions.
• model/ — Graph, node, edge, socket, settings, and annotation data models.
• utils/ — Shared utilities including library_loader, node factory helpers, graph export.
• libraries/default/ — Packaged data, transform, math, visuals, and ML nodes (auto-copied into user workspaces).
• assets/ — Application icons.
• sciplex/ — Public API surface for library authors (Attribute, nodify, workspace).

Development & testing

• Format/lint: ruff check .
• Tests: pytest
• Build wheel/sdist: python -m build
