jinja2-s3loader 0.3.0

A Jinja2 template loader for AWS S3.

Project Status: Beta. It’s pretty simple and works for me, but not heavily tested in production use. Caveat Emptor.

Usage

This library relies on the boto3 library for S3 access, so you will need to configure your AWS credentials first. Then, provide your S3 bucket name and optional template directory name when instantiating the loader:

#!python
from jinja2 import Environment
from jinja2_s3loader import S3loader

s3template_dir = "test/templates"  # trailing slash not required, but ok
j2 = Environment(loader=S3loader('my-s3-bucket-name', s3template_dir))
t = j2.get_template('mytemplate.j2')  # loads test/templates/mytemplate.j2
print(t.render({}))

Note that, although S3 does not have real directories and treats the prefix string as purely a sub-string, this S3loader will treat the prefix as a subdirectory. That is, it will add a trailing slash if none is provided.

Remember, accessing files over S3 costs money. The loader currently does not support live reloading. I built this to support accessing S3 templates from AWS Lambda functions, so those constraints are fine with me, but your use case may be different.

Contributions welcome. File a Github issue to report a bug.

Known Issues

• The loader blindly attempts to decode all templates as UTF-8. If your template is encoded with an incompatible encoding, it WILL be broken. PR’s welcome.
