boto3 with auto-complete and dataclasses not dicts
Project description
PyCharm-ready auto-complete and docstrings for boto3 low-level client interface.
Project Status: Alpha
Custom methods that boto3 does not generate from botocore are simply delegated to the boto3 client and have no documentation available. And the parameter naming schema is like in the original methods.
Passing nested objects is ugly.
from autoboto.services import s3
s3_client = s3.Client()
for bucket in s3_client.list_buckets().buckets:
print(f"= {bucket.name} =")
for obj in s3_client.list_objects_v2(bucket_name=bucket.name).contents:
print(f" - {obj.key}")
You can also paginate:
for page in s3_client.list_objects_v2(bucket_name=bucket.name).paginate():
for obj in page.contents:
print(f" - {obj.key}")
Installation
pip install autoboto
Code Generation
When you install autoboto from pypi.org, the package already contains the generated code for all the services that boto3 supports.
If you want to re-generate the code, you can do so with the included botogen.
python -m botogen --services s3,cloudformation,lambda
Components
autoboto - package where the generated code is put just before release. Do not add anything there manually. All files in this directory may be overwritten.
botogen - the code responsible for autoboto generation
botogen.autoboto_template - contents of this package end up in the generated autoboto package.
.gitignore file under botogen/autoboto_template instructs git to ignore all files in the directory. This is so that the generated code in autoboto package is never added to version control. Therefore, during autoboto development, when you are adding new files to the botogen/autoboto_template, you need to add -f flag to force-add them to git.
botogen.indentist - generic Python code generator

test-packages/ Target directory for test builds -- where the generated
packages are put after successful completion of a build
and tests passing on the generated code.
build_dir – a temporary directory in which all the build artifacts are generated. In the example above, build/test/20180909_135330 and build/release/20180909_135602 are build directories.
target_package – name of the generated target package; used in import statements in the generated code. autoboto when generating the release; autoboto_{timestamp} in tests.
target_dir – the directory in which to put the target package. By default it’s the current directory, but in tests it is build/test-packages.
Notes
Do not use any imports from botogen.autoboto_template in tests because the objects that exist there are not the same that the test code will access.
tox
To run tox, you need to first generate the autoboto package or it will fail.
