Contributing to UiPath SDK

Local Development Setup

Prerequisites

  1. Install Python 3.13:

    • Download and install Python 3.13 from the official Python website
    • Verify the installation by running: 
      python3.13 --version

    Alternative: mise

  2. Install uv: 

    pip install uv

  3. Create a virtual environment in the current working directory: 

    uv venv

  4. Install dependencies: 

    uv sync --all-extras

See just --list for linting, formatting and build commands.

Use SDK Locally

  1. Create a folder on your own device mkdir project; cd project
  2. Initialize the python project uv uv init . --python 3.9
  3. Obtain the project path PATH_TO_SDK=/Users/YOU_USER/uipath-langchain/
  4. Install the sdk in editable mode uv add --editable ${PATH_TO_SDK}

:information_source: Instead of cloning the project into .venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/uipath_langchain, this mode creates a file named _uipath_langchain.pth inside .venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages. This file contains the value of PATH_TO_SDK, which is added to sys.path—the list of directories where python searches for packages. (Run python -c 'import sys; print(sys.path)' to see the entries.)
