KIWI - DynamoDB ORM for Python

Kiwi is an AWS DynamoDB ORM for Python. Kiwi depends on boto and supports Python2.7, Python3.4 at least.

Installation

Install Kiwi from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/papaya-mobile/kiwi.git
$ cd kiwi
$ python setup.py sdist
$ pip install dist/kiwi-x.x.x.tar.gz

Basic usage

The table, Field of Kiwi will be used to define a DynamoDB Model:

from boto.dynamodb2 import connect_to_region
from boto.dynamodb2.types import NUMBER
from kiwi import metadata
from kiwi import Table
from kiwi import Field
from kiwi import HashKeyField, RangeKeyField

connection = connect_to_region("us-east-1")
metadata.configure(connection=connection)

class User(Table):
    id = HashKeyField(data_type=NUMBER)
    name = Field()

class UserTask(Table):
    user_id = HashKeyField(data_type=NUMBER)
    task_id = RangeKeyField()
    name = Field()
    time = Field()
    done = Field(data_type=NUMBER, default=0)

After define a model, it's very easy to insert items:

>>> User(id=1, name='Aaron').save()
>>> UserTask(user_id=1, task_id='first', name='test').save()
>>> UserTask(user_id=1, task_id='second', name='test').save()     
>>> UserTask(user_id=1, task_id='fifth', name='test').save()

You may also get and query items easily:

>>> User.get(1)
<User object at 0x7f515343ccd0>
>>> UserTask.get(1, 'second')
<UserTask object at 0x7f515343c950> 

>>> UserTask.query().filter(UserTask.user_id==1, UserTask.task_id.beginswith_('f')).all()
[<UserTask object at 0x7f51533c9810>, <UserTask object at 0x7f51533c9790>]

Documentation
