LocalStack Python Client

This is an easy-to-use Python client for LocalStack. The client library provides a thin wrapper around boto3 which automatically configures the target endpoints to use LocalStack for your local cloud application development.

Prerequisites

To make use of this library, you need to have LocalStack installed on your local machine. In particular, the localstack command needs to be available.

Installation

The easiest way to install LocalStack is via pip:

pip install localstack-client

Usage

This library provides an API that is identical to boto3's. For example, to list the SQS queues in your local (LocalStack) environment, use the following code:

import localstack_client.session

session = localstack_client.session.Session()
sqs = session.client('sqs')
assert sqs.list_queues() is not None

Developing

We welcome feedback, bug reports, and pull requests!
