SKILL DETAIL
python-executor
skills-101/superpowers/python-executor
The python-executor skill provides a safe sandboxed environment for executing Python code via inference.sh. The environment comes with over 100 pre-installed libraries, including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium, Playwright, MoviePy, Pillow, OpenCV, trimesh, and more, covering a wide range of use cases such as data processing, web scraping, image manipulation, video creation, 3D model processing, PDF generation, API calls, and automation scripts. To use this skill, you can submit input containing your code and optional parameters via a CLI tool (e.g., belt). The code runs in an isolated subprocess with configurable timeout (1-300 seconds) and memory settings (default 8GB, optional 16GB). Output files (e.g., charts, CSV, videos, 3D models) are automatically detected and returned. This skill is ideal for quick execution of Python scripts in automation tasks, but note that the environment is CPU-only and does not include GPU or machine learning libraries.

# Python Code Executor
Execute Python code in a safe, sandboxed environment with 100+ pre-installed libraries.

## Quick Start
> Requires inference.sh CLI (`belt`). [Install instructions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inference-sh/skills/refs/heads/main/cli-install.md)
```bash
belt login
# Run Python code
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "import pandas as pd\nprint(pd.__version__)"
}'
```
## App Details

| Environment | Python 3.10, CPU-only |
| RAM | 8GB (default) / 16GB (high_memory) |
| Timeout | 1-300 seconds (default: 30) |
## Input Schema
```json
{
"code": "print('Hello World!')",
"timeout": 30,
"capture_output": true,
"working_dir": null
}
```

## Examples
### Web Scraping
```bash
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "import requests\nfrom bs4 import BeautifulSoup\n\nresponse = requests.get(\"https://example.com\")\nsoup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, \"html.parser\")\nprint(soup.find(\"title\").text)"
}'
```
### Data Analysis with Visualization
```bash
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "import pandas as pd\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n\ndata = {\"name\": [\"Alice\", \"Bob\"], \"sales\": [100, 150]}\ndf = pd.DataFrame(data)\n\nplt.bar(df[\"name\"], df[\"sales\"])\nplt.savefig(\"outputs/chart.png\")\nprint(\"Chart saved!\")"
}'
```
### Image Processing
```bash
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "from PIL import Image\nimport numpy as np\n\n# Create gradient image\narr = np.linspace(0, 255, 256*256, dtype=np.uint8).reshape(256, 256)\nimg = Image.fromarray(arr, mode=\"L\")\nimg.save(\"outputs/gradient.png\")\nprint(\"Image created!\")"
}'
```
### Video Creation
```bash
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "from moviepy.editor import ColorClip, TextClip, CompositeVideoClip\n\nclip = ColorClip(size=(640, 480), color=(0, 100, 200), duration=3)\ntxt = TextClip(\"Hello!\", fontsize=70, color=\"white\").set_position(\"center\").set_duration(3)\nvideo = CompositeVideoClip([clip, txt])\nvideo.write_videofile(\"outputs/hello.mp4\", fps=24)\nprint(\"Video created!\")",
"timeout": 120
}'
```
### 3D Model Processing
```bash
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "import trimesh\n\nsphere = trimesh.creation.icosphere(subdivisions=3, radius=1.0)\nsphere.export(\"outputs/sphere.stl\")\nprint(f\"Created sphere with {len(sphere.vertices)} vertices\")"
}'
```
### API Calls
```bash
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input '{
"code": "import requests\nimport json\n\nresponse = requests.get(\"https://api.github.com/users/octocat\")\ndata = response.json()\nprint(json.dumps(data, indent=2))"
}'
```
## File Output
Files saved to `outputs/` are automatically returned:
```python
# These files will be in the response
plt.savefig('outputs/chart.png')
df.to_csv('outputs/data.csv')
video.write_videofile('outputs/video.mp4')
mesh.export('outputs/model.stl')
```
## Variants
```bash
# Default (8GB RAM)
belt app run infsh/python-executor --input input.json
# High memory (16GB RAM) for large datasets
belt app run infsh/python-executor@high_memory --input input.json
```
## Use Cases
- **Web scraping** - Extract data from websites
- **Data analysis** - Process and visualize datasets
- **Image manipulation** - Resize, crop, composite images
- **Video creation** - Generate videos with text overlays
- **3D processing** - Load, transform, export 3D models
- **API integration** - Call external APIs
- **PDF generation** - Create reports and documents
- **Automation** - Run any Python script
## Important Notes
- **CPU-only** - No GPU/ML libraries (use dedicated AI apps for that)
- **Safe execution** - Runs in isolated subprocess
- **Non-interactive** - Use `plt.savefig()` not `plt.show()`
- **File detection** - Output files are auto-detected and returned
