pip install tha-aws-runner

Quick start

from tha_aws_runner import ThaDdb, ThaS3, ThaSSM

# DynamoDB — fetch a single item by partition key
ddb = ThaDdb(region="us-east-1")
record = ddb.fetch_by_pk("my_table", "pk1", key_name="id", key_type="S")
# {"name": "Alice"}

# DynamoDB — batch fetch by partition key (uses batch_get_item, chunks at 100)
records = ddb.batch_fetch_by_pk("my_table", ["pk1", "pk2"], key_name="id", key_type="S")
# {"my_table": {"pk1": {"name": "Alice"}, "pk2": {"not_found": True}}}

# DynamoDB — update a single attribute
result = ddb.update_by_pk("my_table", "pk1", "id", "S", "status", "S", "active")
# {"pk": "pk1", "status": "updated", "old": {...}}

# S3 — upload bytes or a local file (bucket+key or S3 URI)
s3 = ThaS3(region="us-east-1")
s3.upload_file("my-bucket", "data/file.csv", data=b"col1,col2\n1,2")
s3.upload_file("my-bucket", "data/file.csv", local_path="/tmp/file.csv")
s3.upload_file(uri="s3://my-bucket/data/file.csv", data=b"col1,col2\n1,2")

# S3 — download to memory or a local file (bucket+key or S3 URI)
result = s3.download_file("my-bucket", "data/file.csv")
# {"bucket": "my-bucket", "key": "data/file.csv", "status": "downloaded", "bytes": 13, "data": b"..."}
s3.download_file("my-bucket", "data/file.csv", local_path="/tmp/out.csv")
s3.download_file(uri="s3://my-bucket/data/file.csv", local_path="/tmp/out.csv")

# SSM — read a parameter
ssm = ThaSSM(region="us-east-1")
value = ssm.read_param("/my/app/secret", with_decryption=True)

API

ThaDdb

ThaDdb(*, status_cb=None, mode="app", region=None, profile=None)

Method	Description
fetch_by_pk(table_name, partition_key, *, fields=None, key_name=None, key_type=None, dynamodb=None)	Fetch a single item by partition key via get_item. Returns the item dict, or {"not_found": True} if missing.
batch_fetch_by_pk(table_name, partition_keys, *, fields=None, key_name=None, key_type=None, workers=1, dynamodb=None)	Batch-fetch items by partition key via batch_get_item (chunks at 100). Returns {table_name: {pk: record}}. Missing keys get {"not_found": True}. Chunk-level AWS errors are captured per-chunk; affected PKs get {"error": msg} while remaining chunks still return their data. Pass workers>1 to parallelize chunks across threads.
update_by_pk(table_name, partition_key, key_name, key_type, update_attr, update_type, update_value, *, increment_attr=None, commit=False, dynamodb=None)	Update a single attribute with conditional check. Returns {"pk", "status", ...} where status is updated, skipped, error, or dry_run.
batch_update_by_pk(table_name, rows, pk_col, key_name, key_type, update_attr, update_type, value_col, *, increment_attr=None, workers=1, commit=False, dynamodb=None)	Update an attribute for each row in a list. Wraps update_by_pk per row. Pass workers>1 for threading. Returns a list of per-row result dicts.
batch_delete_by_pk(table_name, rows, pk_col, key_name, key_type, *, workers=1, commit=False, dynamodb=None)	Delete an item for each row in a list. Wraps delete_by_pk per row. Pass workers>1 for threading. Returns a list of per-row result dicts.
batch_write(table_name, items, *, commit=False, dynamodb=None)	Write up to N items in 25-item chunks with retry. Returns {"written": N} or {"written": N, "status": "dry_run"}.
delete_by_pk(table_name, partition_key, key_name, key_type, *, commit=False, dynamodb=None)	Delete one item with existence check. Returns {"pk", "status"}.

All write methods default to commit=False (dry run) — pass commit=True to execute. In dry-run mode the AWS call is skipped and status is "dry_run".

GSI (Global Secondary Index) support for ThaDdb is planned for a future version.

ThaS3

ThaS3(*, status_cb=None, mode="app", region=None, profile=None)

Method	Description
upload_file(bucket=None, key=None, *, uri=None, local_path=None, data=None, encoding="utf-8", commit=False, s3=None)	Upload a local file, raw bytes, or a string to S3. Provide uri or both bucket+key. Provide exactly one of local_path or data. Strings are encoded using encoding. Returns {"bucket", "key", "status", "bytes"}.
list_files(bucket, prefix="", *, s3=None)	List all object keys in a bucket under an optional prefix. Returns a list[str] of keys. Paginates automatically.
delete_file(bucket=None, key=None, *, uri=None, commit=False, s3=None)	Delete an S3 object. Provide uri or both bucket+key. Returns {"bucket", "key", "status"}.
download_file(bucket=None, key=None, *, uri=None, local_path=None, encoding=None, s3=None)	Download an S3 object. Provide uri or both bucket+key. Without local_path, returns data in result["data"] as str (if encoding set) or bytes. With local_path, writes raw bytes to disk. Returns {"bucket", "key", "status", "bytes"}.

ThaSSM

ThaSSM(*, status_cb=None, mode="app", region=None, profile=None)

Method	Description
read_param(path, *, with_decryption=False, ssm=None)	Fetch a single SSM parameter value as a string.
read_params_by_path(path_prefix, *, with_decryption=False, ssm=None)	Fetch all parameters under a path prefix recursively. Returns {name: value}. Paginates automatically.
write_param(path, value, *, param_type="String", overwrite=True, commit=False, ssm=None)	Write an SSM parameter. Returns {"path", "status"}.

All methods set self.rows to their return value.

mode="cli" enables tqdm progress bars. mode="app" calls status_cb(message) instead.

Helpers

from tha_aws_runner import AWSClients, current_identity, parse_assumed_role_arn, cli_auth_check

# Get all boto3 clients from one session
clients = AWSClients(region="us-east-1", profile="my-profile")
s3 = clients.s3()

# Check the current AWS identity
identity, account_id, role_name, session_name = current_identity(region="us-east-1")

# Guard a script to the expected account/role
if not cli_auth_check(account_id, role_name, "123456789012", "my_role"):
    raise SystemExit("Wrong AWS identity")

Alternatives

• boto3 — the official AWS SDK; tha-aws-runner is a thin typed convenience layer on top of it
• aioboto3 — async boto3 wrapper for async applications
• pynamodb — ORM-style DynamoDB wrapper with model definitions
• aws-lambda-powertools — utilities for Lambda functions including SSM parameter caching

tha-aws-runner is intentionally narrow: no ORM, no async, no Lambda-specific features — just a thin typed wrapper for the most common DynamoDB, S3, and SSM call patterns.
