AWS IoT SDK for Python v2

This document provides information about the AWS IoT device SDK for Python V2.

If you have any issues or feature requests, please file an issue or pull request.

This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries (aws-c-common, aws-c-io, aws-c-mqtt, aws-c-compression, aws-c-http, aws-c-cal, aws-c-auth, s2n ...) written in C to be cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound to Python by the awscrt package (PyPI) (Github).

Installation

Minimum Requirements

  • Python 3.5+

Install from PyPI

pip install awsiotsdk 

Install from source

pip install ./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2 

Installation Issues

awsiotsdk depends on awscrt, which makes use of C extensions. Precompiled wheels are downloaded when installing on major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspbian (python3 only)). If wheels are unavailable for your platform (ex: Raspbian with python2.7), your machine must compile some C libraries. If you encounter issues, install the following and try again:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cmake sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
