[![Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/awsiotsdk.svg?style=flat)](https://pypi.org/project/awsiotsdk/)

This document provides information about the AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Python.

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

API documentation: https://aws.github.io/aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/

This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries
([aws-c-common](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-common),
[aws-c-io](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-io),
[aws-c-mqtt](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-mqtt),
[aws-c-compression](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-compression),
[aws-c-http](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-http),
[aws-c-cal](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-cal),
[aws-c-auth](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-auth),
[s2n](https://github.com/awslabs/s2n) ...) written in C to be
cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound
to Python by the `awscrt` package ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/awscrt/)) ([Github](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-python)).
This document provides information about the AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Python. This SDK is built on the [AWS Common Runtime](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/common-runtime.html)

### Installation Issues

`awsiotsdk` depends on [awscrt](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-python), which makes use of C extensions. Precompiled wheels are downloaded when installing on major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi OS). If wheels are unavailable for your platform, your machine must compile some C libraries. For example:

```bash
# 1. Create a workspace directory to hold all the CRT files
mkdir crt-workspace
cd crt-workspace

# 2. Clone the repository, you could select the version you would like to use. You can find the awscrt version used by the current SDK from the file "./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/setup.py". Update the version number in "./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/setup.py" can change the awscrt version you would like to use in awsiotsdk
git clone -b <CRT_VERSION> https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-python.git

# 3. Update the submodules
cd aws-crt-python
git submodule update --init --recursive

# 4. (Optional) Setup the version number of your local build. Similar to the awsiotsdk, the default version for awscrt is set to "1.0.0-dev", you can set the version number of the local build in "./aws-crt-python/awscrt/__init__.py". The awscrt version set here need to match the version specified in "./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/setup.py" so that the awsiotsdk could locate the correct awscrt library.
sed -i "s/__version__ = '1.0.0.dev0'/__version__ = '<CRT_VERSION>'/" awscrt/__init__.py

# 5. Install using Pip
python3 -m pip install .
```
If you need aws-crt-python to use the libcrypto included on your system, set environment variable AWS_CRT_BUILD_USE_SYSTEM_LIBCRYPTO=1 while building from source:
```
AWS_CRT_BUILD_USE_SYSTEM_LIBCRYPTO=1 python3 -m pip install --no-binary :all: --verbose awscrt
```
( --no-binary :all: ensures you do not use the precompiled wheel from PyPI)

If you encounter issues, see [Installation Issues](./documents/PREREQUISITES.md#installation-issues) and try again.

### I keep getting AWS_ERROR_MQTT_UNEXPECTED_HANGUP

This could be many different things but it most likely is a policy issue. Start with using a super permissive IAM policy called AWSIOTFullAccess which looks like this:
