What it is and what it does
Conductor-python is a client SDK for the Conductor workflow orchestration engine, enabling you to define and execute durable agents, workflows, and distributed workers in Python. It abstracts away the complexity of managing retries, state persistence, and observability—Conductor handles those concerns server-side while your Python code runs as stateless tasks or agents. The SDK supports both traditional workflow-and-worker patterns (where you define a DAG and run independent Python workers) and modern AI agent patterns (with LLM reasoning, tools, guardrails, and human approval).
The package includes clients for workflows, tasks, workers, metadata, scheduling, and metrics, plus optional framework bridges to integrate existing Google ADK, LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents, or Claude Agent SDK agents into Conductor's durability model. You connect to a Conductor server—either a local instance via CLI or Docker, or the hosted Orkes Developer Edition—and the SDK handles communication, task polling, and result reporting.
Use it for
- Build AI agents that survive process crashes by storing execution state server-side and resuming from completed work.
- Coordinate long-running multi-step workflows (data pipelines, approval chains) without holding application threads open.
- Scale Python workers independently while Conductor manages task distribution, retries, and delivery guarantees.
- Integrate an existing LangChain or LangGraph agent into a durable orchestration layer without rewriting it.
- Implement human-in-the-loop workflows where approval steps pause execution and resume after human decision.
