TLX
Tools for working with AWS.
Install
pip install tlxCLI apps
Tools that should be in the awscli but aren't or don't function well. All have --help for details.
All CLI applications have their own detailed help menus. Currently available tools are:
| function | description |
|---|---|
get-aws-creds |
returns temporary session credentials. Locally mock AWS runtime environments, debugging IAM etc |
dynamo-batch-write |
loads scan results into a dynamo table. Much better than awscli option |
$ dynamo-batch-write --help
Usage: dynamo-batch-write [OPTIONS]
DYNAMO BATCH WRITE
Loads the results of a scan opperation into a table.
Details:
Takes the output of a `scan` operation such as: `aws dynamodb scan --table-name <TableName>`
and writes to an existing table. Similar to the `aws dynamodb batch-write-item` command except:
- No limit to amount of items in the upload (25 with awscli)
- Take the output of a table scan, requiring no reformatting
Options:
-d, --dump-file FILENAME File dumped from dynamodb with a `scan`. [required]
-t, --table TEXT Table to send data to. Table must exist and key schema must match. Use `aws dynamodb
describe-table --table-name <TableName>` [required]
-h, --help Show this message and exit.Module Summary
Import these in a python program or shell.
| function | description |
|---|---|
tlx.apigateway |
Reduce boilerplate when using proxy response lambdas with API Gateway |
tlx.dynamodb |
clear_table, batch loaders for csv bigquery and functions for nested data reliably |
tlx.util |
Extra tools such as: better boto3 Session, generic paginator that works on all boto3 calls + more |
See Submodule docs for more examples.
Light install
If this grows too large it may become a namespace package so that individual parts can be installed easily. But until that time if you need a tool and only that tool, say for a deployment to AWS lambda or GCP App Engine, then:
- Do a local install without dependencies:
pip install --no-deps -t package/location/ tlx - Run your project and install the dependencies as you encounter import errors.
