# AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Python [![Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/awsiotsdk.svg?style=flat)](https://pypi.org/project/awsiotsdk/) This document provides information about the AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Python. If you have any issues or feature requests, please file an issue or pull request. API documentation: https://aws.github.io/aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/ This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries ([aws-c-common](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-common), [aws-c-io](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-io), [aws-c-mqtt](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-mqtt), [aws-c-compression](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-compression), [aws-c-http](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-http), [aws-c-cal](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-cal), [aws-c-auth](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-auth), [s2n](https://github.com/awslabs/s2n) ...) written in C to be cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound to Python by the `awscrt` package ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/awscrt/)) ([Github](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-python)). *__Jump To:__* * [Installation](#Installation) * [Samples](samples) * [Getting Help](#Getting-Help) * [FAQ](./documents/FAQ.md) * [Giving Feedback and Contributions](#Giving-Feedback-and-Contributions) * [MQTT5 User Guide](./documents/MQTT5_Userguide.md) ## Installation ### Minimum Requirements * Python 3.7+ [Step-by-step instructions](./documents/PREREQUISITES.md) ### Install from PyPI #### MacOS and Linux: ``` python3 -m pip install awsiotsdk ``` #### Windows: ``` python -m pip install awsiotsdk ``` ### Install from source ```bash # 1. Create a workspace directory to hold all the SDK files mkdir sdk-workspace cd sdk-workspace # 2. Clone the repository. You could select the version of the SDK you desire to use. git clone -b https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2.git # 3. (Optional) Setup the version number of your local build. The default version for awsiotsdk is set to "1.0.0-dev", you can set the version number of the local build in "aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/awsiot/__init__.py" sed -i "s/__version__ = '1.0.0-dev'/__version__ = ''/" aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/awsiot/__init__.py # 4. Install using Pip (use 'python' instead of 'python3' on Windows) python3 -m pip install ./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2 ``` ### Installation Issues `awsiotsdk` depends on [awscrt](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-python), which makes use of C extensions. Precompiled wheels are downloaded when installing on major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi OS). If wheels are unavailable for your platform, your machine must compile some C libraries. For example: ```bash # 1. Create a workspace directory to hold all the CRT files mkdir crt-workspace cd crt-workspace # 2. Clone the repository, you could select the version you would like to use. You can find the awscrt version used by the current SDK from the file "./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/setup.py". Update the version number in "./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/setup.py" can change the awscrt version you would like to use in awsiotsdk git clone -b https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-python.git # 3. Update the submodules cd aws-crt-python git submodule update --init --recursive # 4. (Optional) Setup the version number of your local build. Similar to the awsiotsdk, the default version for awscrt is set to "1.0.0-dev", you can set the version number of the local build in "./aws-crt-python/awscrt/__init__.py". The awscrt version set here need to match the version specified in "./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/setup.py" so that the awsiotsdk could locate the correct awscrt library. sed -i "s/__version__ = '1.0.0.dev0'/__version__ = ''/" awscrt/__init__.py # 5. Install using Pip python3 -m pip install . ``` If you need aws-crt-python to use the libcrypto included on your system, set environment variable AWS_CRT_BUILD_USE_SYSTEM_LIBCRYPTO=1 while building from source: ``` AWS_CRT_BUILD_USE_SYSTEM_LIBCRYPTO=1 python3 -m pip install --no-binary :all: --verbose awscrt ``` ( --no-binary :all: ensures you do not use the precompiled wheel from PyPI) If you encounter issues, see [Installation Issues](./documents/PREREQUISITES.md#installation-issues) and try again. ## Samples [Samples README](samples) ## Getting Help The best way to interact with our team is through GitHub.
