HuaweiCloud Python Software Development Kit (Python SDK)

The HuaweiCloud Python SDK allows you to easily work with Huawei Cloud services such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Virtual Private Cloud(VPC) without the need to handle API related tasks.

This document introduces how to obtain and use HuaweiCloud Python SDK.

Getting Started

• To use HuaweiCloud Python SDK, you must have Huawei Cloud account as well as the Access Key and Secret key of the HuaweiCloud account.

  The accessKey is required when initializing {Service}Client. You can create an AccessKey in the Huawei Cloud console. For more information, see My Credentials.

• HuaweiCloud Python SDK requires python 3 or later.

Install Python SDK

HuaweiCloud Python SDK supports Python 3 or later. Run python --version to check the version of Python.

• Use python pip

  Run the following command to install the individual libraries of HuaweiCloud services:

   # Install the core library
   pip install huaweicloudsdkcore
  
   # Install the VPC management library
   pip install huaweicloudsdkvpc
  

• Install from source

  Run the following command to install the individual libraries of HuaweiCloud services:

   # Install the core library
   cd huaweicloudsdkcore-${version}
   python setup.py install
  
   # Install the VPC management library
   cd huaweicloudsdkvpc-${version}
   python setup.py install
  

Use Python SDK

1. Import the required modules as follows:

   from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials
   from huaweicloudsdkcore.exceptions import exceptions
   from huaweicloudsdkcore.http.http_config import HttpConfig
   from huaweicloudsdk{service}.v2 import *
   

2. Config {Service}Client Configurations

   2.1 Use default configuration

   #  Use default configuration
   config = HttpConfig.get_default_config()
   

   2.2 Proxy

   # Use Proxy if needed
   config.proxy_protocol = 'http'
   config.proxy_host = 'proxy.huaweicloud.com'
   config.proxy_port = 80
   config.proxy_user = 'username'
   config.proxy_password = 'password'
   

   2.3 Connection

   # seconds to wait for the server to send data before giving up, as a float, or (connect timeout, read timeout)
   config.timeout = 3
   

   2.4 SSL Certification

   # Skip ssl certifaction checking while using https protocol if needed
   config.ignore_ssl_verification = True
   # Server ca certification if needed
   config.ssl_ca_cert = ssl_ca_cert
   

3. Initialize Credentials

   credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk, project_id, domain_id)
   

   where:

   For project services, only need to provide project_id, domain_id is optional. For global services, project_id must be null, domain_id should be filled in according to the actual situation. Global services currently only support Iam.

   • ak is the access key id for your account.
   • sk is the secret access key for your account.
   • project_id is the id of the project.
   • project_id is the account ID of huawei cloud.

4. Initialize the {Service}Client instance:

   client = {Service}Client.new_builder({Service}Client) \
       .with_http_config(config) \
       .with_credentials(credentials) \
       .with_endpoint(endpoint) \
       .with_file_log(path="test.log", log_level=logging.INFO) \  # Write log files
       .with_stream_log(log_level=logging.INFO) \                 # Write log to console
       .with_enable_http_log(True) \                              # log whole http request and response
       .build()
   

   where:

   • endpoint: service specific endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints.
   • with_file_log:
     • path: log file path.
     • log_level: log level, default is INFO.
     • max_bytes: size of single log file, default is 10485760 bytes.
     • backup_count: count of log file, default is 5.
   • with_stream_log:
     • stream: stream object, default is sys.stdout.
     • log_level: log level, default is INFO.

   Warning

   • with_enable_http_log: We recommend you only use this for debugging purposes. Disable it in your production environments, as it records the whole request and response data, which may contains sensitive data, and it could be very large.

5. Send a request and print response.

   # Initialize a request and set parameters
   response = client.method()
   print(respones)
   

6. Exceptions

   Level 1	Notice	Level 2	Notice
   ConnectionException	Connection error	HostUnreachableException	Host is not reachable
   		SslHandShakeException	SSL certification error
   RequestTimeoutException	Request timeout	CallTimeoutException	timeout for single request
   		RetryOutageException	no response after retrying
   ServiceResponseException	service response error	ServerResponseException	server inner error, http status code: [500,]
   		ClientRequestException	invalid request, http status code: [400? 500)

   # handle exceptions
   try:
       response = client.method()
   except exception.ServiceResponseException as e:
       print(e.status_code)
       print(e.request_id)
       print(e.error_code)
       print(e.error_msg)
   

7. Asynchronous Requests

   # Initialize asynchronous client
   vpc_client = VpcAsyncClient.new_builder(VpcAsyncClient) \
       .with_http_config(config) \
       .with_credentials(credentials) \
       .with_endpoint(endpoint) \
       .build()
   
   # send asynchronous request
   response = client.method()
   
   # get asynchronous response
   print(response.result())
