Settings

The Settings tab lets you control how your script behaves at runtime. You can:

  • Add environment variables

  • Limit execution time

  • Reset the script environment

  • Delete the script permanently

These settings help keep your scripts portable, reproducible, and secure.

🐍 Python Version

Defined in your YAML config:

python_version: "3.11.0"

Supported versions:

  • 3.13.x (coming soon)

  • 3.12.11

  • 3.11.13

  • 3.10.18

  • 3.9.23

To use a different version, update the python_version field in your YAML. This will rebuild the environment and reinstall dependencies on your next script run.

💡 Need another version? Email support and we’ll do our best to add it.

Max Runtime

Limit how long your script can run:

  • Set in the Settings panel

  • Measured in seconds

  • Default is 99999

Used to avoid runaway jobs or long loops.

Environment Variables

Add secure key-value pairs that your script can read at runtime. These do not go in your YAML — they’re defined through the UI.

Example:

API_KEY=sk-12345
DEBUG=true

Access in Python:

import os
api_key = os.getenv("API_KEY")

Use this for secrets, toggles, or runtime configuration.

Dependency Management

Defined in YAML:

dependencies:
  - pandas
  - requests==2.31.0

When dependencies change, use the buttons in Settings:

  • Clear Dependencies: removes all pip packages for this script

  • Reset Environment: full rebuild of the Python environment

  • Note: Gromet will normally detect this automatically and make the necessary adjustments regarding dependencies and pip installations. However, in the event of an error, you can trigger a manual reset.

Useful when:

  • Packages have version conflicts

  • You’ve updated dependencies:

  • Things feel broken

Danger Zone

Click Delete Script to remove it permanently. This cannot be undone.

Used to clean up old prototypes or start fresh.

Notes

  • Settings are script-specific

  • Changes to YAML trigger fresh installs

  • UI-defined settings (env vars, runtime) are stored separately
