Python

using the Python SDK for Ratio1

Python

The Python SDK is the most direct way to build and test Ratio1 workloads: connect to the network, discover nodes, create pipelines, deploy plugin instances, and consume payloads from remote execution. Python is also the primary language surface for native Ratio1 applications built around edge-node plugins, even when those applications include container-based front-ends or middle tiers.

What this section covers​

  • quick execution path from install to first deployed workload;
  • tutorial map by objective (network basics, custom code, distributed jobs, web apps, bots);
  • practical API entry points for Session, Pipeline, Instance, and distributed presets;
  • runtime architecture context for developers extending or integrating with edge software;
  • contribution paths across docs, SDK, and edge runtime repos.

When to use Python SDK first​

  • You need custom logic running on remote nodes quickly.
  • You want callback-driven integration (on_data, on_notification, on_heartbeat).
  • You need chain-distributed compute patterns or custom web endpoints from code.

For managed production lifecycle operations, default to Deeploy UI/API. Use direct SDK orchestration when you need explicit pipeline-level control in development, integration, or custom production control loops.
