Summary

Publishes the SST Python SDK to PyPI as sst-sdk, so users can install it with pip install sst-sdk or uv add sst-sdk instead of pointing at the git repo.

Changes

  • Rename package to sst-sdksst is taken on PyPI. Import stays from sst import Resource (unchanged for users).
  • Add PyPI metadata — classifiers, keywords, license, project URLs in pyproject.toml.
  • Publish in release workflow — Python SDK builds and publishes alongside JS and Rust SDKs on every tag push. No separate manual workflow.
  • Hatch build config — targets src/sst for wheel so the import name stays sst.
  • Migration docs in README — shows users how to switch from the git dependency to PyPI.
  • PUBLISHING.md — one-time PyPI trusted publishing setup instructions.

Migration for users

# Before
[project]
dependencies = ["sst"]

[tool.uv.sources]
sst = { git = "https://github.com/sst/sst", subdirectory = "sdk/python" }

# After
[project]
dependencies = ["sst-sdk"]
# No source config needed

No code changes — from sst import Resource works the same.

Setup required before first publish

  1. Configure trusted publishing on PyPI for sst-sdk (see sdk/python/PUBLISHING.md)
  2. That's it — the release workflow handles everything else

Testing

  • uv build in sdk/python/ produces valid wheel
  • pip install dist/sst_sdk-*.whl && python -c 'from sst import Resource' works

… Function

- Remove buildable, include, exclude from pyproject.toml config
- Remove [tool.sst] section entirely — SST no longer reads pyproject.toml
  for deployment config
- Move include-lambda-runtime to sst.Function.python.includeLambdaRuntime
  in sst.config.ts (passed via input properties JSON)
- Remove dead code: pyprojectCache, checkPyprojectConfig, loadPyprojectConfig,
  contentFilter.projectRoot, newContentFilterForProject, copyDir filterPrefix
- Clean up unused function parameters cascading from config removal
- Remove leftover empty services/auth directory from example simplification
…oto3 stripping

- Remove includeLambdaRuntime option and boto3/botocore stripping entirely
  (let uv handle dependency resolution, don't second-guess user's deps)
- Flatten contentFilter struct to global var + free functions (isIgnored, matchesPattern)
- Flatten uvCommandRunner struct to free functions (runUvBuild, runUvExport, runUvCommand)
- Remove copyDir filterPrefix parameter (always empty after include/exclude removal)
- Remove accidentally committed platform/dist/dockerfiles/python.Dockerfile
- deployBuilder now only holds config
- Remove deployBuilder struct, deployBuilderConfig, and newDeployBuilder
- Convert Build method to free function buildDeploy(ctx, input, cacheDir, projectRoot)
- Convert all 22 receiver methods to package-level free functions
- No behavioral changes — pure mechanical refactor
- Replace camelCase dict context with LambdaContext class using snake_case
  attributes (aws_request_id, get_remaining_time_in_millis(), etc.) to match
  real Lambda context semantics
- Fix infinite retry loop on response POST: serialize result once outside
  the loop, retry POST up to 3 times instead of forever
- Replace requests library with stdlib urllib.request — removes --with=requests
  from uv run command (one less dep to install on every dev startup)
- Reuse parse_handler_path() in error path instead of re-parsing
- Remove unused WorkerID argument from worker command
Preserves package metadata needed by importlib.metadata and entry points.
The size cost is ~20-60KB per package — negligible vs the risk of breaking
libraries that read their own metadata at runtime.
flattenPackageToRoot was using filepath.Base (basename only), silently
collapsing nested modules. A package with pkg/utils.py and pkg/sub/utils.py
would overwrite the first with the second. Now preserves relative paths.
Restores two behaviors that were removed in 0c01751 ('simplify code'):

1. ShouldRebuild now filters by file type and path instead of returning
   true unconditionally. Without filtering, writes to .sst/artifacts/
   (e.g. resource.enc written by the framework after every Build()) trigger
   ShouldRebuild -> true -> Build() -> resource.enc write -> infinite
   rebuild loop. The original implementation at 575e317 had shouldIgnoreFile
   and isRelevantFile for exactly this reason.

2. Build() returns immediately in dev mode before acquiring the semaphore
   or resolving the handler. In dev mode no build work is needed — Run()
   handles everything at invocation time. Without this, every rebuild
   triggered 50+ concurrent resolveHandler calls and semaphore acquisitions
   for no reason.

Also removes --with=requests from uv run since index.py now uses stdlib
urllib, and removes the unused WorkerID argument.
- Rename package to sst-sdk (sst is taken on PyPI) while keeping
  the import name as 'from sst import Resource'
- Add PyPI metadata: classifiers, keywords, license, project URLs
- Expand README with installation, usage examples, and links
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for trusted publishing (workflow_dispatch)
  with version verification against pyproject.toml

To publish:
1. Configure trusted publishing on PyPI for sst-sdk
2. Create a 'pypi' environment in GitHub repo settings
3. Run the workflow with the version number
Blocking:
- Cap findWorkspaceRoot walk at 5 levels above handler pyproject.toml
- Remove name validation from parsePyprojectToml (workspace roots have no name)
- Replace busy-wait spinlock with channel-based lock acquisition

Non-blocking:
- Stop deleting .pyi and py.typed from installed dependencies
- Remove pyproject.toml, setup.py, Dockerfile, LICENSE from exclude patterns
- Raise RuntimeError in lambda bridge after 3 failed POST retries
- Document complementary concurrency controls (semaphore + per-key mutex)
Resolve pyproject.toml conflict:
- Keep sst-sdk rename and PyPI metadata from pypi branch
- Use exact pin pycryptodomex==3.20.0 from deployment-fixes
- Keep hatch build config for wheel/sdist
- Add dev dependency group (pytest)
- Remove standalone publish-python-sdk.yml workflow
- Add Python SDK build+publish steps to release.yml
- Version sourced from dist/metadata.json (same as other SDKs)
- Update PUBLISHING.md with new flow and setup instructions
