Installing py-sc-client

py-sc-client is available on PyPI:

$ pip install py-sc-client

py-sc-client officially supports Python 3.8+.

templ.triple('_class_node', edge_addr, sc_types.NODE_VAR) # ffa
templ.triple(node_addr, edge_addr, sc_types.NODE_VAR) # ffa
search_results = client.template_search(templ)
search_result = search_results[0]

search_result.size() # count of elements in the resulting construction
search_result.get(0).value # get an element from the result by index
search_result.get('_class_node').value # get an element from the result by alias

def for_each_tripple_func(src: ScAddr, edge: ScAddr, trg: ScAddr):
    ...
search_result.for_each_triple(for_each_tripple_func) # call a function for each triple in the result

Classes

The library contains the python implementation of useful classes and functions to work with the sc-memory.

There is a list of classes:

ScKeynodes
ScAgent
ScModule

ScKeynodes

A singleton dictionary object which provides the ability to cache the identifier and ScAddr of keynodes stored in the KB. Create an instance of the ScKeynodes class to get access to the cache:

keynodes = ScKeynodes()

Get the provided identifier:

keynodes["identifier_of_keynode"] # returns an ScAddr of the given identifier
keynodes["not_stored_in_kb"] # returns an invalid ScAddr if an identifier does not exist in the memory

Use resolve_identifiers() to upload identifiers from Enum classes:

class CommonIdentifiers(Enum):
    RREL_ONE = "rrel_1"
    RREL_TWO = "rrel_2"

class QuestionStatus(Enum):
    QUESTION_INITIATED = "question_initiated"
    QUESTION_FINISHED = "question_finished"
    QUESTION_FINISHED_SUCCESSFULLY = "question_finished_successfully"
    QUESTION_FINISHED_UNSUCCESSFULLY = "question_finished_unsuccessfully"

keynodes.resolve_identifiers([QuestionStatus, CommonIdentifiers])

ScAgent

A class for handling a single ScEvent. Define your agents like this:

class MyAgent(ScAgent):
    action = "Identifier_of_action_class"

    def register(self) -> ScEvent:
        # override method, must return an ScEvent instance
        params = [
            MyAgent.keynodes["action_initiated"],
            common.ScEventType.ADD_OUTGOING_EDGE,
            MyAgent.run_impl
        ]
        event_params = ScEventParams(*params)
        sc_event = client.events_create(event_params)
        return sc_event[0]

    @staticmethod
    def run_impl(action_class: ScAddr, edge: ScAddr, action_node: ScAddr) -> None:
        # override method, must have 3 args and be static
        ...

ScModule

A class for handling a multiple ScAgent. Define your modules like this:

class MyModule(ScModule):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        agents_to_register = [MyAgent1, MyAgent2] # list of agent classes
        super().__init__(agents_to_register)
