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.

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.

The easiest way to install LocalStack is via pip:

pip install localstack-client

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

We welcome feedback, bug reports, and pull requests!

Use these commands to get you started and test your code:

make install
make test

• v0.2: Add missing service endpoints; enable SSL connections; put default endpoints into config.py
