Krux Python class built on top of Krux Stdlib for interacting with Boto and Boto3
Version 0.0.7 went through a major refactoring work and thus is not compatible with applications written with krux-boto version 0.0.6. The mechanism to fetch AWS credential is changed and may cause your application to use a different credentials than intended. Therefore, version 0.0.7 should not be used. Please use either 0.0.6 or 1.0.0 version. For update instructions, refer to the section below.
The most common use case is to build a CLI script on top of boto. Here's how to do that:
from krux_boto import Application
def main():
### The name must be unique to the organization. The object
### returned inherits from krux.cli.Application, so it provides
### all that functionality as well.
app = Application( name = 'krux-my-boto-script' )
### krux-boto supports both boto2 and boto3. See below for samples
### using either interface
sample_boto2(app)
sample_boto3(app)
def sample_boto2(app):
### This is the boto2 object, which behaves exactly like a standard
### boto object, but with the right logging/stats settings added.
boto = app.boto
### This gets you a region object based on the preference of
### the CLI parameters passed:
region = app.boto.ec2.get_region(app.boto.cli_region)
### Sample program: connect to ec2 and list the regions:
ec2 = app.boto.connect_ec2(region = region)
### Some simple diagnostics to show that it works
app.logger.warn('Boto2 - Connected to region: %s', region.name)
for r in ec2.get_all_regions():
app.logger.warn('Region: %s', r.name)
def sample_boto3(app):
### This is the boto3 object, which behaves exactly like a standard
### boto object, but with the right logging/stats settings added.
boto = app.boto3
### This gets you an ec2 object, connected to the right region as
### passed in via the cli or app directly
ec2 = boto.client('ec2')
### Some simple diagnostics to show that it works
app.logger.warn('Boto3 - Connected to region: %s', boto.cli_region)
### See here for docs/return values:
### http://boto3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/services/ec2.html#EC2.Client.describe_regions
for rv in ec2.describe_regions().get('Regions', []):
app.logger.warn('Region: %s', rv.get('RegionName'))
### Run the application stand alone
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()From other CLI applications, you can make the use of krux_boto.boto.get_boto() function.
from krux_boto.boto import get_boto, add_boto_cli_arguments
import krux.cli
class Application(krux.cli.Application):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Application, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.boto = get_boto(self.args, self.logger, self.stats)
def add_cli_arguments(self, parser):
super(Application, self).add_cli_arguments(parser)
add_boto_cli_arguments(parser)Alternately, you want to add boto functionality to your larger script or application. Here's how to do that:
from krux_boto import Boto
class MyApplication( object ):
BOTO_ACCCESS_KEY = 'fakeAccessKey'
BOTO_SECRET_KEY = 'fakeSecretKey'
BOTO_LOG_LEVEL = 'info'
BOTO_REGION = 'us-east-1'
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.boto = Boto(
log_level=self.BOTO_LOG_LEVEL,
access_key=self.BOTO_ACCESS_KEY,
secret_key=self.BOTO_SECRET_KEY,
region=self.BOTO_REGION,
logger=self.logger,
stats=self.stats,
)
def run(self):
print self.boto.ec2.get_region(self.boto.cli_region).name| Name | Value | Default |
|---|---|---|
| access_key | AWS Access Key to use | Environment variable $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID |
| secret_key | AWS Secret Key to use | Environment variable $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY |
| log_level | Verbosity of boto logging (Choose between critical, error, warning, info, debug) |
warning |
| region | EC2 Region to connect to | us-east-1 |

krux_boto.Boto.add_boto_cli_arguments - All arguments are string
In version 0.0.6, krux_boto.Boto object took an argparse.ArgumentParser object as an optional parameter for the constructor. This approach has been abandoned. krux_boto.Boto object now expects 4 parameters listed below. Therefore, following change is required to get your application working with version 1.0.0.
# Version 0.0.6
import krux.cli
from krux_boto import Boto, add_boto_cli_arguments
class Application(krux.cli.Application):
def __init__(self, name='krux-my-boto-script'):
super(Application, self).__init__(name=name)
self.boto = Boto()
def add_cli_arguments(self, parser):
super(Application, self).add_cli_arguments(parser)
add_boto_cli_arguments(parser)# Version 1.0.0
import krux.cli
from krux_boto import add_boto_cli_arguments, get_boto
class Application(krux.cli.Application):
def __init__(self, name='krux-my-boto-script'):
super(Application, self).__init__(name=name)
# Notice the change in constructor parameters
self.boto = get_boto()
def add_cli_arguments(self, parser):
super(Application, self).add_cli_arguments(parser)

The tests should all pass. Now you are ready to improve this library.
This library comes with a CLI tool bundled that shows you how the code works.
These are the options and how you can invoke it:
$ krux-boto-test -h
usage: krux-boto-test [-h] [--log-level {info,debug,critical,warning,error}]
[--stats] [--stats-host STATS_HOST]
