A Pythonic interface for Amazon’s DynamoDB that supports Python 2 and 3.
DynamoDB is a great NoSQL service provided by Amazon, but the API is verbose. PynamoDB presents you with a simple, elegant API.

Installation
From PyPi:
$ pip install pynamodb
From GitHub:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/jlafon/PynamoDB#egg=pynamodb
Basic Usage
Create a model that describes your DynamoDB table.
from pynamodb.models import Model
from pynamodb.attributes import UnicodeAttribute
class UserModel(Model):
"""
A DynamoDB User
"""
class Meta:
table_name = "dynamodb-user"
email = UnicodeAttribute(null=True)
first_name = UnicodeAttribute(range_key=True)
last_name = UnicodeAttribute(hash_key=True)PynamoDB allows you to create the table if needed (it must exist before you can use it!):
UserModel.create_table(read_capacity_units=1, write_capacity_units=1)Now, search your table for all users with a last name of ‘Smith’ and whose first name begins with ‘J’:
for user in UserModel.query("Smith", first_name__begins_with="J"):
print(user.first_name)Create a new user:
user = UserModel("John", "Denver")
user.save()Retrieve an existing user:
try:
user = UserModel.get("John", "Denver")
print(user)
except UserModel.DoesNotExist:
print("User does not exist")Advanced Usage
Want to use indexes? No problem:
from pynamodb.models import Model
from pynamodb.indexes import GlobalSecondaryIndex, AllProjection
from pynamodb.attributes import NumberAttribute, UnicodeAttribute
class ViewIndex(GlobalSecondaryIndex):
class Meta:
read_capacity_units = 2
write_capacity_units = 1
projection = AllProjection()
view = NumberAttribute(default=0, hash_key=True)
class TestModel(Model):
class Meta:
table_name = "TestModel"
forum = UnicodeAttribute(hash_key=True)
thread = UnicodeAttribute(range_key=True)
view = NumberAttribute(default=0)
view_index = ViewIndex()Now query the index for all items with 0 views:
for item in TestModel.view_index.query(0):
print("Item queried from index: {0}".format(item))It’s really that simple.
Want to use DynamoDB local? Just add a host name attribute and specify your local server.
from pynamodb.models import Model
from pynamodb.attributes import UnicodeAttribute
class UserModel(Model):
"""
A DynamoDB User
"""
class Meta:
table_name = "dynamodb-user"
host = "http://localhost:8000"
email = UnicodeAttribute(null=True)
first_name = UnicodeAttribute(range_key=True)
last_name = UnicodeAttribute(hash_key=True)Want to backup and restore a table? No problem.
# Backup the table
UserModel.dump("usermodel_backup.json")
# Restore the table
UserModel.load("usermodel_backup.json")Features
