Installation

Basic Installation

pip install workspacex

With Reranker Support

pip install "workspacex[reranker]"  # For using reranker in your code
pip install "workspacex[reranker-server]"  # For running the reranker HTTP service

Using Poetry:

poetry install --extras "reranker-server"  # Installs all features

---

Usage

Basic Example

import asyncio
from workspacex.utils.logger import logger

from workspacex import WorkSpace, ArtifactType

if __name__ == '__main__':
    workspace = WorkSpace.from_local_storages(workspace_id="demo")
    asyncio.run(workspace.create_artifact(ArtifactType.TEXT, "artifact_001"))

Attachment Support Example

WorkspaceX supports file attachments for artifacts, allowing you to attach files with metadata and descriptions:

import asyncio
from workspacex import WorkSpace, ArtifactType
from workspacex.artifact import AttachmentFile

async def attachment_example():
    workspace = WorkSpace(workspace_id="attachment_demo", clear_existing=True)
    
    # Create an artifact
    artifacts = await workspace.create_artifact(
        artifact_type=ArtifactType.TEXT,
        content="This artifact has attached files"
    )
    artifact = artifacts[0]
    
    # Add attachment files
    artifact.add_attachment_file(
        AttachmentFile(
            file_name="document.pdf",
            file_desc="Important PDF document",
            file_path="/path/to/document.pdf"
        )
    )
    
    # Save the artifact with attachments
    await workspace.add_artifact(artifact)
    
    # Retrieve attachment information
    print(f"📎 Attachments: {artifact.attachment_files_desc()}")

# Run the example
asyncio.run(attachment_example())

arXiv Paper Processing Example

WorkspaceX supports arXiv paper processing with automatic PDF download, parsing, and markdown conversion:

import asyncio
from workspacex import WorkSpace, ArtifactType

async def arxiv_example():
    workspace = WorkSpace(workspace_id="arxiv_demo", clear_existing=True)
    
    # Create an arXiv artifact by paper ID
    artifacts = await workspace.create_artifact(
        artifact_type=ArtifactType.ARXIV,
        arxiv_id="2507.21509"  # arXiv paper ID
    )
    
    arxiv_artifact = artifacts[0]
    print(f"📄 Processed arXiv paper: {arxiv_artifact.arxiv_id}")
    print(f"📎 Attachments: {len(arxiv_artifact.attachment_files)} files")
    
    # The artifact automatically includes:
    # - Original PDF file
    # - Converted markdown zip file
    # - Parsed content for chunking and search

# Run the example
asyncio.run(arxiv_example())

Parallel Processing Demo

WorkspaceX now supports high-performance parallel processing of artifacts and subartifacts, providing significant performance improvements:

Key Features:

• 🚀 Full Parallel Processing: Main artifacts and subartifacts processed simultaneously
• ⚡ Thread Pool Optimization: CPU-intensive operations moved to thread pool
• 🎯 Configurable Concurrency: Control concurrent operations with max_concurrent_embeddings
• 🛡️ Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed logging
• 📊 Performance Monitoring: Real-time performance metrics and logging

import asyncio
from workspacex import WorkSpace, ArtifactType

async def demo_enhanced_parallel_processing():
    workspace = WorkSpace(workspace_id="parallel_demo", clear_existing=True)
    
    # Configure concurrency limits (optional)
    workspace.workspace_config.max_concurrent_embeddings = 10
    
    # Create an artifact with multiple subartifacts
    # All artifacts and subartifacts will be processed in parallel for maximum performance
    await workspace.create_artifact(
        artifact_type=ArtifactType.NOVEL,
        novel_file_path="path/to/novel.txt",
        embedding_flag=True  # Enables parallel embedding processing
    )

# Run the demo
asyncio.run(demo_enhanced_parallel_processing())

Performance Improvements:

• Sequential Processing: ~1.0x baseline
• Parallel Subartifacts Only: ~2-3x faster
• Full Parallel Processing: ~5-10x faster
• Batch Processing: ~10-20x faster

For a complete performance comparison demo, see src/examples/parallel_processing_example.py.

More Examples

For more detailed examples on features like reranking, storage/embedding backends, hybrid search, Chinese full-text search, attachment handling, and arXiv processing, please refer to the scripts in the src/examples/ directory.

To run an example:

export PYTHONPATH=src
python src/examples/embeddings/openai_example.py
python src/examples/arxiv_example.py  # arXiv processing example

Running the Reranker Server[Optional]

1. Install server dependencies:

pip install "workspacex[reranker-server]"

2. Start the server:

python -m workspacex.reranker.server.reranker_server

Default model: Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B

To download the model first:

# Install huggingface_hub
pip install -U huggingface_hub

# Set mirror for faster download in China
export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com

# Download the model
huggingface-cli download --resume-download Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B --local-dir Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B

The server can be configured with these environment variables:

RERANKER_MODEL=Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B  # or Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-8B
RERANKER_PORT=8000
RERANKER_RELOAD=False

The server will start on http://localhost:8000. Interactive API docs are available at /docs and /redoc. It provides endpoints like /rerank and a Dify-compatible /dify/rerank.
