nene2-python 1.2.0

NENE2 Python — minimal API framework following NENE2's design philosophy

nene2-python

A Python reference framework implementing the NENE2 design philosophy — clean architecture, security-first, and AI-readable code.

---

Features

• FastAPI + Pydantic v2 — modern Python API stack with automatic OpenAPI docs
• Clean Architecture — UseCase / Domain layer fully decoupled from HTTP and DB
• mypy --strict — equivalent to PHPStan level 8 type safety
• ruff — lint and format in one tool (replaces flake8, isort, black, bandit)
• RFC 9457 Problem Details — uniform error responses across all endpoints
• Bearer Token / API Key auth — zero-config LocalTokenVerifier
• MCP support — expose UseCases as AI agent tools via LocalMcpServer
• SQLAlchemy Core — parameterised SQL without ORM overhead
• Security middleware — CSP, X-Frame-Options, rate limiting, request size limit, CORS
• structlog — structured JSON logging with request ID correlation

---

Installation

pip install nene2-python
# or
uv add nene2-python

Requires Python 3.12+.

Quick Start

from fastapi import FastAPI
from nene2.config import AppSettings
from nene2.middleware import (
    ErrorHandlerMiddleware,
    RequestIdMiddleware,
    SecurityHeadersMiddleware,
    ThrottleMiddleware,
)

cfg = AppSettings()
app = FastAPI()

app.add_middleware(ErrorHandlerMiddleware, debug=cfg.app_debug)
app.add_middleware(SecurityHeadersMiddleware)
app.add_middleware(RequestIdMiddleware)
app.add_middleware(ThrottleMiddleware, limit=cfg.throttle_limit, window=cfg.throttle_window)

Define a domain

from dataclasses import dataclass
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class Note:
    id: int
    title: str
    body: str

class NoteRepositoryInterface(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def find_by_id(self, note_id: int) -> Note | None: ...

@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class GetNoteInput:
    note_id: int

class GetNoteUseCase:
    def __init__(self, repository: NoteRepositoryInterface) -> None:
        self._repository = repository

    def execute(self, input_: GetNoteInput) -> Note:
        note = self._repository.find_by_id(input_.note_id)
        if note is None:
            raise NoteNotFoundException(input_.note_id)
        return note

Wire to HTTP

from fastapi import APIRouter
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
from nene2.http import problem_details_response

router = APIRouter(prefix="/notes", tags=["notes"])

@router.get("/{note_id}")
async def get_note(note_id: int) -> JSONResponse:
    note = get_use_case.execute(GetNoteInput(note_id))
    return JSONResponse({"id": note.id, "title": note.title, "body": note.body})

See the full working example in src/example/.

Development Commands

uv sync                         # install dependencies
uv run pytest                   # run tests (coverage enforced at 80%)
uv run mypy src/                # type check
uv run ruff check src/ tests/   # lint
uv run ruff format src/ tests/  # format
uv run uvicorn src.example.app:app --reload --port 8080  # dev server

Full CI check (equivalent to GitHub Actions):

uv run pytest && \
uv run mypy src/ && \
uv run ruff check src/ tests/ && \
uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/ && \
uv run pip-audit
