# CyborgDB Embedded - Python API Reference

> `v0.17.x`

The Python API for CyborgDB is split into two main classes within the `CyborgDB` class:

* `Client` – Handles configuration, index creation/loading, and listing available indexes.
* `EncryptedIndex` – Provides data operations on a specific encrypted index such as upserting vectors, training the index, querying, and retrieving stored items.

This API is also available in [C++](../cpp/introduction).

## Module-level helpers

Two module-level helpers report on CUDA/GPU support in the current build and environment:

```python theme={null}
def cuda_available() -> bool   # True if a usable CUDA device is present at runtime
def cuda_built() -> bool       # True if this build of cyborgdb_core was compiled with CUDA support
```

```python theme={null}
import cyborgdb_core as cyborgdb

if cyborgdb.cuda_built() and cyborgdb.cuda_available():
    print("GPU acceleration is available.")
```

<Note>**Removed in v0.17.** `set_working_dir()` has been removed. Configure storage locations through [`StorageConfig`](./types#storageconfig) (`memory` / `disk` / `s3`) on the [`Client`](./client/client) instead.</Note>
