Installation

Requirements

Python 3.10 or newer. The SDK has no dependencies.

Install the SDK

pip install https://poker.monashcoding.com/dl/macpoker-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

A virtual environment is a good idea:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install https://poker.monashcoding.com/dl/macpoker-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Check it works:

macpoker play house:call house:random --deals 10

The scaffold

The quickest start is the scaffold zip: a folder with a working main.py and a README. Edit, test, zip, upload.

What runs in the tournament

Your bot runs inside a sandbox with:

• Python 3.12
• the macpoker SDK
• numpy
• the Python standard library
• no network access, no other packages, no GPU

If your bot imports anything outside that list, it will fail validation.
