# Rowboat Python SDK
A Python SDK for interacting with the Rowboat API.
## Installation
You can install the package using pip:
```bash
pip install rowboat
```
## Usage
### Basic Usage
Initialize a client and use the chat method directly:
```python
from rowboat import Client
from rowboat.schema import UserMessage, SystemMessage
# Initialize the client
client = Client(
host="<HOST>",
project_id="<PROJECT_ID>",
api_key="<API_KEY>"
)
# Create messages
messages = [
SystemMessage(role='system', content="You are a helpful assistant"),
UserMessage(role='user', content="Hello, how are you?")
]
# Get response
response_messages, state = client.chat(messages=messages)
print(response_messages[-1].content)
# For subsequent messages, include previous messages and state
messages.extend(response_messages)
messages.append(UserMessage(role='user', content="What's your name?"))
response_messages, state = client.chat(messages=messages, state=state)
```
### Using Tools
The SDK supports function calling through tools:
```python
def weather_lookup(city_name: str) -> str:
return f"The weather in {city_name} is 22°C."
# Create a tools dictionary
tools = {
'weather_lookup': weather_lookup
}
# Use tools with the chat method
response_messages, state = client.chat(
messages=messages,
tools=tools
)
```
### Stateful Chat (Convenience Wrapper)
For simpler use cases, the SDK provides a `StatefulChat` class that maintains conversation state automatically:
```python
from rowboat import StatefulChat
# Initialize stateful chat
chat = StatefulChat(
client,
tools=tools,
system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)
# Simply send messages and get responses
response = chat.run("Hello, how are you?")
print(response)
# I'm good, thanks! How can I help you today?
```
### Advanced Usage
#### Using a specific workflow
```python
response_messages, state = client.chat(
messages=messages,
workflow_id="<WORKFLOW_ID>"
)
# or
chat = StatefulChat(
client,
workflow_id="<WORKFLOW_ID>"
)
```
#### Skip tool call runs
This will surface the tool calls to the SDK instead of running them automatically on the Rowboat server.
```python
response_messages, state = client.chat(
messages=messages,
skip_tool_calls=True
)
# or
chat = StatefulChat(
client,
skip_tool_calls=True
)
```
