dskity 0.1.1

Modular Application (Plugin System) API

DSkity

A small, modular Python framework for building services with pluggable transports and modules.

Key features:

• Lightweight module system with a single TransportClients object (HTTP, gRPC, MQTT).
• Simple key-value backends (in-memory, Redis, Consul) with a unified interface.
• FastAPI-based HTTP transport and optional gRPC/MQTT clients.
• CI workflow with PyPI publishing support via GitHub Actions and OIDC.

Overview

DSkity provides a minimal foundation to register independent modules that receive a single TransportClients object containing references to available transport clients (HTTP app, gRPC client, MQTT client). The design keeps optional dependencies lazy-loaded and avoids hard runtime requirements for gRPC or MQTT unless they are used.

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.11+ (project tests are configured for modern Python versions)
• Optional: Redis or Consul if you plan to use those KV backends

Install project dependencies (development):

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .[dev]

Configuration

Configuration is handled via the DSkitySettings pydantic settings model in src/dskity/config. You can provide a YAML or environment variables to configure transports and KV backends.

modules:
  service1:
    enabled: true
    database:
      url: "sqlite:///:memory:"
      pool_size: 10
      max_overflow: 20
      pool_pre_ping: true
  service2:
    enabled: false
  service3:
    enabled: true
    database:
      url: "postgresql+psycopg2://user:pass@127.0.0.1:5432/service3"

You can also use envioriments variables to set values:

DSKITY_MODULES_SERVICE3_DATABASE_URL="postgresql+psycopg2://user:superpass@127.0.0.1:5432/service3"

By default, those are the default settings.

Running Locally

Run the FastAPI app (when present) or import dskity.bootstrap to construct an application instance.

Example (development):

dskity

Testing

Run the test suite with pytest:

pytest -q

Module API

Modules must implement a register(self, clients: TransportClients, config: DSkitySettings | dict) -> None method. Use clients.http to access the FastAPI app (if available), clients.grpc for the gRPC client, and clients.mqtt for MQTT.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Typical workflow:

git checkout -b feature/my-change
pytest
git push --set-upstream origin feature/my-change

Open a pull request for review. Please follow existing code style and update tests when adding or changing behavior.
