Python

PythonTools enable an Agent to write and run python code.

Example

The following agent will write a python script that creates the fibonacci series, save it to a file, run it and return the result.

cookbook/91_tools/python_tools.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.python import PythonTools

agent = Agent(tools=[PythonTools()])
agent.print_response("Write a python script for fibonacci series and display the result till the 10th number")
