Python API

import scitex_events as ev

# Emit an event (any kwargs become payload fields).
ev.emit("test_complete", project="figrecipe", status="success",
        payload={"exit_code": 0, "module": "stats"})

# Latest event of a given type.
ev.latest("test_complete")

# Recent history (newest first).
list(ev.history(limit=20))

# Schemas / introspection.
ev.list_types()
ev.get_type_info("test_complete")

Events are stored locally as JSON-Lines files (override path via SCITEX_EVENTS_DIR) and can optionally be forwarded to a cloud webhook.

Quick Start

import scitex_events as ev

ev.emit("test_complete", project="figrecipe", status="success",
        payload={"exit_code": 0, "module": "stats"})

ev.latest("test_complete")     # most recent event of this type
list(ev.history(limit=20))     # recent history

Status

Standalone fork of scitex.events. Pure stdlib — zero runtime deps. The umbrella package's scitex.events import path is preserved via a sys.modules-alias bridge so existing code continues to work.

Part of SciTeX

scitex-events is part of SciTeX. Install via the umbrella with pip install scitex[events] to use as scitex.events (Python) or scitex events ... (CLI).
