It wraps gRPC communication with protobuf serialization, exposing a Python interface to send control signals and read results from the Octave system. The package depends on betterproto, grpcio, grpclib, and protobuf for its networking and serialization layer.\n\nYou install it to write Python programs that interact with Octave hardware\u2014typically as part of a larger quantum computing workflow where QUA scripts define the quantum operations and this SDK bridges the gap between your Python code and the physical hardware. It has evolved through several releases, most recently adding support for calibration API compatibility.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own or have access to Quantum Machine's Octave hardware and need to control it from Python. The package is stable, has low install friction, carries no security vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive BSD-3-Clause license. The 409-day release gap is a minor concern but not disqualifying if your Octave system is compatible with version 2.1.6. Verify hardware compatibility before committing to a specific version."},"id":"qm-octave","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qm-octave","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qm-octave.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/qm-octave/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"qm-octave","python_support":"capped_below_current","summary":"SDK to control an Octave with QUA"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92124,"position":13477,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.6"}
