Spin Python SDK

This is an SDK for creating Spin apps using Python.

Note that this SDK supersedes an earlier, experimental version, which may be found in the old-sdk branch.

Example

Prerequisites

Once you have Python and pip installed, you can use the latter to create and enter a virtual environment and then install the desired packages

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install componentize-py==0.13.3 spin-sdk==3.2.1 mypy==1.8.0

Hello, World

A minimal app requires two files: a spin.toml and a Python script, which we'll name app.py:

cat >spin.toml <<EOF
spin_manifest_version = 2

[application]
name = "hello"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Dev Eloper <[email protected]>"]

[[trigger.http]]
route = "/..."
component = "hello"

[component.hello]
source = "app.wasm"
[component.hello.build]
command = "componentize-py -w spin-http componentize app -o app.wasm"
EOF
cat >app.py <<EOF
from spin_sdk import http
from spin_sdk.http import Request, Response

class IncomingHandler(http.IncomingHandler):
    def handle_request(self, request: Request) -> Response:
        return Response(
            200,
            {"content-type": "text/plain"},
            bytes("Hello from Python!", "utf-8")
        )
EOF

Once you've created those files, you can check, build, and run your app:

python -m mypy app.py
spin build -u

Finally, you can test your app using e.g. curl in another terminal:

curl -i http://127.0.0.1:3000

If all goes well, you should see something like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: text/plain
content-length: 18
