Python

Python is fully supported by Speedscale. Use this page for Python-specific proxy settings, TLS trust configuration, demo guidance, and the Proxymock local workflow.

• Stack: Flask
• Local run: make local
• Traffic generator: make capture

This is the current public Python demo used for local Proxymock examples.

Proxymock

Use this path for the fastest Python first success on a developer workstation.

1. 1. Install and initialize Proxymock

   brew install speedscale/tap/proxymock
   proxymock init

   Use browser sign-in by default. Use `proxymock init --api-key <your key>` only for CI or other headless environments.

2. 2. Clone the Python demo and install dependencies

   git clone https://github.com/speedscale/demo
   cd demo/python
   make install

   The Python demo now includes a small Makefile so setup is repeatable.

3. 3. Run the app

   cd demo/python
   make local

   The app listens on port 5001 and exposes a health check plus the SpaceX proxy endpoint.

4. 4. Capture a real workflow

   cd demo/python
   make capture

   The capture flow records outbound SpaceX traffic through Proxymock.

5. 5. Run with mocks

   cd demo/python
   make mock

   Mock mode replays the captured response without reaching the live SpaceX API.

6. 6. Replay the same traffic against a change

   cd demo/python
   make replay

   Use replay as the regression check before shipping Python changes.

TLS Trust

Python applications that use requests should trust the Speedscale certificate bundle with REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE. See the shared Language Configuration page for the exact command and related options.
