langrila 1.2.4
Useful tool to build multi-agent in an easy way
Requires Python: <3.13,>=3.10

# Langri-La

Langrila is an open-source third-party python package allows you to develop type-safe multi-agent in an easy way. This package is just personal project. 

# Motivation

Widely used agent frameworks are all excellent, but I feel like: 

- Often highly abstracted, making their behavior unclear at times and it causes some limitations as well.
- Code readability has some issues derived from many decorators and special operator when we are developing agent using that framework. 
- Handling an agent's state or context is a little annoying. Typically it requires special arguments in functions and the state is updated hidden by tool. This might causes confusion on treaceability of the state. Ideally, functions implemented in regular development should be usable as-is with an agent, and state scope is explained by dependencies of agents, I think.
- The arguments, specifications, and available models of providers are frequently updated. To follow that is a little cumbersome.


To address these issues, I breathed new life into langrila, which has the following features:


- Deliberately avoiding over-abstracting the module.: 
    - Wrapper classes of the provider sdk are minimally designed, avoiding unnecessary unification of arguments and eliminating processing dependent on model names. Langrila gives you high-level interface to use LLM while almost all the provider's original parameters also can be accepted as it is.
- No need for special argument to inject context into tools:
    - Each argument can be explicitly injected a value without the use of special argument.
- Support for sub-agents as tools:
    - In addition to passing tools to agents, sub-agents can be passed directly to the agent. Sub-agents are dynamically converted into tools internally and controlled by the parent agent, enabling easy construction of multi-agent systems. This feature brings to you intuitive coding and readability of the multi-agent.
- Unified message-response model independent of provider APIs:
    - Langrila defines a standardized message-response model that allows multi-agent systems to be built across different providers.
- Serializable conversation history:
    - The standardized message-response model can be serialized to JSON and easily stored not only in memory but also in formats like JSON, Pickle, Azure Cosmos DB, and AWS S3.
- Type-safe structured output: 
    - Inspired by [PydanticAI](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai). Args are validated when a tool is invoked by the pydantic schema validator. When an error occured in validation, agent automatically retry generating response.
- Multi-modal I/O:
    - Whatever the provider supports like image/video/pdf/audio/uri input, image/audio generation, embed texts and so on.
        - I will be rolling out support progressively.
- Others:
    - Customizable internal prompts.
    - Usage gathering for all sub-agents.
    - All we have to do to support new provider is to implement a single class in many cases.

# Breaking changes

Significant breaking changes were introduced from version v0.4.1 to reborn as an agent framework. It's more like a rebuild than just an update. Please be careful to update from the previous version. 


<details>
<summary>Here is a rough guide of migration.</summary>

1. `{Provider}FunctionalChat` to `Agent` + `{Provider}Client` (like `OpenAIClient`) module
2. `response.message.content[0].text` to `response.contents[0].text`. Same for the other modalities.
3. `TextContent` to `TextPrompt` / `TextResponse`. Same for the other modalities.
4. `run()` / `arun()` to `run()` / `run_async()` in index db modules
