DDD and Hexagonal Architecture building blocks for Python

python-seedwork

DDD and Hexagonal Architecture building blocks for Python.

Goals

• Unify design patterns. Provide a shared vocabulary — entities, aggregates, value objects, domain events, CQRS buses — so every bounded context starts from the same foundation.
• Keep domain logic pure. The domain layer has zero framework or infrastructure imports. Business rules live in the domain; everything else lives in infrastructure.
• Clear layer boundaries. Protocols define contracts; implementations satisfy them structurally. The dependency direction is enforced: domain ← application ← infrastructure.

Components

Layer	Package	Components
Domain	seedwork.domain	Entity, AggregateRoot, ValueObject, DomainEvent, DomainEventRecord, DomainError, Repository, UnitOfWork
Application	seedwork.application	Command, Query[TResult], CommandHandler, QueryHandler, CommandBus, QueryBus, Result, DomainEventBusPublisher, DomainEventBusSubscriber, DomainEventBus, DomainEventHandler, BaseIntegrationEvent, IntegrationEvent, IntegrationEventPublisher, IntegrationEventHandler, BackgroundTask, TaskScheduler
Infrastructure	seedwork.infrastructure	RegistryCommandBus, RegistryQueryBus, TransactionalCommandBus, DomainEventCoordinatorCommandBus, CommandBusBuilder, QueryBusBuilder, DeferredDomainEventBus, DomainEventPublishingRepository, InMemoryRepository

All components are also re-exported from the top-level seedwork package.

Installation

pip install python-seedwork

Requires Python 3.12+. Ships a py.typed marker (PEP 561) — mypy and pyright pick up the inline types automatically.

Documentation

Comprehensive guides are available in the docs/ directory:

• Getting Started
• Component Reference
• Coding Standards

A complete Bank Account example demonstrates all patterns end-to-end.

Requirements

Python 3.12+, uv

Built With

• Python 3.12+
• uv — dependency management and packaging
• Ruff — linting and formatting
• Pyright — strict static type checking
• pytest — testing with coverage gate
• python-semantic-release — automated versioning and changelog

Development

git clone https://github.com/aseguragonzalez/python-seedwork.git
cd python-seedwork
make install

Command	Description
make check	Lint, typecheck, and tests (what CI runs)
make lint	Run ruff linter
make format	Format and auto-fix with ruff
make typecheck	Run pyright
make test	Run tests with coverage (90% gate)
make test-no-cov	Run tests without coverage
make clean	Remove build artifacts and caches

Contributing

This project follows the Conventional Commits specification. The commit-msg pre-commit hook enforces the format; python-semantic-release derives versions and the changelog from commit prefixes automatically.
