Build nitric applications with Python

The Python SDK supports the use of the Nitric framework with Python 3.11+. For more information check out the main Nitric repo.

Python SDKs provide an infrastructure-from-code style that lets you define resources in code. You can also write the functions that support the logic behind APIs, subscribers and schedules.

You can request the type of access you need to resources such as publishing for topics, without dealing directly with IAM or policy documents.

Usage

Starting a new project

Install the Nitric CLI, then generate your project:

nitric new hello-world py-starter

Add to an existing project

First of all, you need to install the library:

pip

pip3 install nitric

pipenv

pipenv install nitric

Then you're able to import the library and create cloud resources:

from nitric.resources import api, bucket
from nitric.application import Nitric
from nitric.context import HttpContext

publicApi = api("public")
uploads = bucket("uploads").allow("write")

@publicApi.get("/upload")
async def upload(ctx: HttpContext):
    photo = uploads.file("images/photo.jpg")

    url = await photo.upload_url()

    ctx.res.body = {"url": url}

Nitric.run()
