Usage Examples

Verify the installed package

python -m pip show tigrbl_engine_inmemory
python - <<'PY'
from importlib.metadata import version
print(version("tigrbl_engine_inmemory"))
PY

Register the engine plugin explicitly

from tigrbl_engine_inmemory import register

register()

Discover the engine through package metadata

from importlib.metadata import entry_points

for entry_point in entry_points(group="tigrbl.engine"):
    if entry_point.module.startswith("tigrbl_engine_inmemory"):
        plugin_register = entry_point.load()
        plugin_register()

Install alongside the facade

uv add tigrbl tigrbl_engine_inmemory
pip install tigrbl tigrbl_engine_inmemory

How To Choose This Package

Choose tigrbl_engine_inmemory when the quick-answer table matches your use case. Choose tigrbl instead when you want the full public facade. Choose a lower-level package such as tigrbl-core, tigrbl-base, or tigrbl-runtime when you are building framework extensions or testing a specific internal boundary.
