deno-sandbox 0.9.0
Deno Sandbox Python SDK
Requires Python: >=3.10

# Deno Sandbox Python SDK

The official Python SDK for [Deno Sandboxes](https://deno.com/deploy/sandboxes) - isolated, secure environments running in lightweight Linux microVMs. Create on-demand sandboxes to execute untrusted code, run shell commands, build AI agents with code execution capabilities, or provide interactive development environments.

## Key Features

- **Secure Isolation** - Each sandbox runs in its own microVM with full process and filesystem isolation
- **Sync & Async APIs** - First-class support for both synchronous and asynchronous Python code
- **Process Management** - Spawn and manage shell processes with full stdin/stdout/stderr control
- **Deno Runtime** - Execute TypeScript/JavaScript code, run Deno scripts, or interact with a REPL
- **Filesystem Operations** - Read, write, copy, and traverse files with a comprehensive filesystem API
- **Persistent Storage** - Create volumes and snapshots to persist data across sandbox sessions
- **App Management** - Create and manage Deno Deploy apps, revisions, and deployment timelines
- **HTTP & SSH Exposure** - Expose sandbox services to the internet via HTTP or SSH
- **Network Controls** - Fine-grained control over outbound network access with allowlists
- **File Transfers** - Upload files from your local machine or download from the sandbox
- **Configurable Resources** - Adjust memory limits, timeouts, and select deployment regions

## Installation

```sh
pip install deno-sandbox
```

Or with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```sh
uv add deno-sandbox
```

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- A Deno Deploy access token (set as `DENO_DEPLOY_TOKEN` environment variable)

## Quick Start

### Synchronous API

```py
from deno_sandbox import DenoDeploy

sdk = DenoDeploy()

with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
    # Run a shell command
    process = sb.spawn("echo", args=["Hello from the sandbox!"])
    process.wait()

    # Write and read files
    sb.fs.write_text_file("/tmp/example.txt", "Hello, World!")
    content = sb.fs.read_text_file("/tmp/example.txt")
    print(content)
```

### Asynchronous API

```py
import asyncio
from deno_sandbox import AsyncDenoDeploy

async def main():
    sdk = AsyncDenoDeploy()

    async with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
        # Run a shell command
        process = await sb.spawn("echo", args=["Hello from the sandbox!"])
        await process.wait()

        # Write and read files
        await sb.fs.write_text_file("/tmp/example.txt", "Hello, World!")
        content = await sb.fs.read_text_file("/tmp/example.txt")
        print(content)

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Usage Examples

### Execute TypeScript/JavaScript with Deno

```py
with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
    # Run inline TypeScript code
    result = sb.deno.eval("console.log('Hello from Deno!')")

    # Or run a script file
    sb.fs.write_text_file("/app/server.ts", '''
        Deno.serve({ port: 8000 }, () => new Response("Hello!"));
    ''')
    process = sb.deno.run(entrypoint="/app/server.ts")
```

### Interactive Deno REPL

```py
with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
    repl = sb.deno.repl()

    # Evaluate expressions and get results
    result = repl.eval("1 + 1")
    print(result)  # 2

    result = repl.eval("const x = [1, 2, 3]; x.map(n => n * 2)")
    print(result)  # [2, 4, 6]

    repl.close()
```

### Filesystem Operations

```py
with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
    # Create directories
    sb.fs.mkdir("/app/data", recursive=True)

    # Write files
    sb.fs.write_text_file("/app/data/config.json", '{"key": "value"}')
    sb.fs.write_file("/app/data/binary.bin", b"\x00\x01\x02\x03")

    # Read files
    text = sb.fs.read_text_file("/app/data/config.json")
    binary = sb.fs.read_file("/app/data/binary.bin")

    # List directory contents
    entries = sb.fs.read_dir("/app/data")
    for entry in entries:
        print(f"{entry['name']} - is_file: {entry['is_file']}")

    # Walk directory tree
    for entry in sb.fs.walk("/app"):
        print(entry["path"])

    # Glob pattern matching
    matches = sb.fs.expand_glob("**/*.json", root="/app")
```

### Upload and Download Files

```py
with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
    # Upload a local file or directory to the sandbox
    sb.fs.upload("./local/project", "/app/project")

    # Run a build process
    process = sb.spawn("npm", args=["run", "build"], cwd="/app/project")
    process.wait()

    # Download results
    sb.fs.download("./output", "/app/project/dist")
```

### Persistent Volumes

```py
# Create a volume for persistent storage
volume = sdk.volumes.create(
    slug="my-data",
    region="us-east-1",
    capacity="1GB"
)

# Use the volume in a sandbox
with sdk.sandbox.create(volumes={"/data": volume["id"]}) as sb:
    sb.fs.write_text_file("/data/persistent.txt", "This data persists!")

# Create a snapshot of the volume
snapshot = sdk.volumes.snapshot(volume["id"], slug="my-snapshot")
```

### Expose HTTP Services

```py
with sdk.sandbox.create() as sb:
    # Start a web server
    sb.fs.write_text_file("/app/server.ts", '''
        Deno.serve({ port: 8000 }, (req) => {
            return new Response("Hello from sandbox!");
        });
    ''')
    process = sb.deno.run(entrypoint="/app/server.ts")
    process.wait_http_ready()

    # Expose it publicly
    url = sb.expose_http(port=8000)
    print(f"Server available at: {url}")
```

### Configure Sandbox Options

```py
with sdk.sandbox.create(
    region="us-east-1",              # Deploy region
    memory_mb=2048,                  # Memory limit (default: 1280 MB)
    timeout="5m",                    # Auto-shutdown timeout
    env={"NODE_ENV": "production"},  # Environment variables
    allow_net=["api.example.com"],   # Network allowlist
) as sb:
    process = sb.spawn("node", args=["app.js"])
    process.wait()
```

### Manage Apps and Deployments

```py
# Create a new app
app = sdk.apps.create(slug="my-app")
print(f"Created app: {app['slug']}")

# List all apps
for app in sdk.apps.list():
    print(f"App: {app['slug']} (created: {app['created_at']})")

# Get revisions for an app
revisions = sdk.revisions.list("my-app")
for rev in revisions:
    print(f"Revision: {rev['id']} - Status: {rev['status']}")

# List timelines (deployment targets) for an app
timelines = sdk.timelines.list("my-app")
for timeline in timelines:
    print(f"Timeline: {timeline['slug']}")
    for domain in timeline["domains"]:
        print(f"  Domain: {domain['domain']}")

# Update or delete an app
sdk.apps.update("my-app", slug="renamed-app")
sdk.apps.delete("renamed-app")
```
