Getting Started

Installation

pip install capo-polly

Usage

from capo_polly import AsyncPollyClient


async def main():
    async with AsyncPollyClient() as polly:
        # Example: call the delete_lexicon operation
        response = await polly.delete_lexicon()
        print(response)

Pagination

Some operations in this SDK support pagination. If the operation supports pagination it will have an iter_ prefixed method that returns an async iterator.

from capo_polly import AsyncPollyClient


async def main():
    async with AsyncPollyClient() as polly:
        # Example: paginate over list_speech_synthesis_tasks
        async for item in polly.iter_list_speech_synthesis_tasks():
            print(item)

Streaming Request

Some operations accept a streaming request body. Pass an async iterator of bytes chunks, or the whole body as bytes, for the streaming parameter.

from capo_polly import AsyncPollyClient


async def main():
    async with AsyncPollyClient() as polly:
        # Example: call start_speech_synthesis_stream with a streaming request body
        async def chunks():
            yield b'Hello, World!'

        response = await polly.start_speech_synthesis_stream(action_stream=chunks())
        print(response)

        # Or pass the whole body as bytes
        response = await polly.start_speech_synthesis_stream(action_stream=b'Hello, World!')
        print(response)

Streaming Response

Some operations return a streaming response body. Use the operation as an async context manager and iterate over the response field to read chunks.

from capo_polly import AsyncPollyClient


async def main():
    async with AsyncPollyClient() as polly:
        # Example: call synthesize_speech and read the streaming response
        async with polly.synthesize_speech() as response:
            async for chunk in response["audio_stream"]:
                print(chunk)

Error Handling

The SDK raises exceptions for errors returned by the API. Catch them to handle failures gracefully.

from capo_polly import AsyncPollyClient
from capo_polly.error import LexiconNotFoundException


async def main():
    async with AsyncPollyClient() as polly:
        try:
            await polly.delete_lexicon()
        except LexiconNotFoundException as e:
            print(f"Error: {e}")
            print(e.data)  # additional error data

Retrying

The SDK retries failed operations automatically. Retry behaviour follows the Smithy specification: errors are retried based on their is_retryable and is_throttling_error attributes. Throttling errors use a longer base delay. Network-level failures (connection errors and timeouts) are also retried. Non-retryable errors, such as client errors without the @retryable trait, are raised immediately without further attempts.

The number of attempts defaults to 3 and can be changed at the client level via retry_max_attempts, or per call via config_overrides.

from capo_polly import AsyncPollyClient


async def main():
    async with AsyncPollyClient() as polly:
        # Default: 3 attempts for every operation
        response = await polly.delete_lexicon()

        # Override per operation
        response = await polly.delete_lexicon(config_overrides={"retry_max_attempts": 5})

        # Disable retries for this call
        response = await polly.delete_lexicon(config_overrides={"retry_max_attempts": 1})
