If you have any issues or feature requests, please file an issue or pull request.

API documentation: https://aws.github.io/aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/

This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries (aws-c-common, aws-c-io, aws-c-mqtt, aws-c-compression, aws-c-http, aws-c-cal, aws-c-auth, s2n ...) written in C to be cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound to Python by the awscrt package (PyPI) (Github).

Installation Issues

awsiotsdk depends on awscrt, which makes use of C extensions. Precompiled wheels are downloaded when installing on major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi OS). If wheels are unavailable for your platform, your machine must compile some C libraries.

If you encounter issues, see Installation Issues and try again.
