Official Python SDK for Westyx Nexus - the centralised secrets, feature flags, and config service.

What’s new in v0.10.0

  • Version alignment across the Westyx Nexus SDK suite.

What’s new in v0.9.0

  • aws_iam WIF provider (AWS IAM Caller Identity) - authenticates non-EKS AWS compute (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, plain EC2) that has IAM credentials but no OIDC token. The SDK SigV4-signs an STS GetCallerIdentity request (never sent to AWS) and posts it to /v1/auth/token-exchange; Nexus replays it against a pinned STS endpoint to prove your IAM role. The signed X-Nexus-Server-ID is your service’s own base-URL host - a captured request is valid for that one service only, and there is nothing to configure. Requires the optional botocore dependency (pip install 'westyx-nexus-sdk[aws-iam]'). See Workload identity.
  • Azure Workload Identity (AKS) - the azure provider now prefers the projected federated token file ($AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE) before falling back to IMDS; auto-detection probes the file too.
  • Probe-based auto-detection - auto-detect now stats the Kubernetes / AWS-IRSA / Azure token files and live-probes the GCP and Azure metadata servers (~1 s timeout), instead of keying on environment variables absent on real cloud nodes.
  • Security hardening - both clients reject plain-http base_urls (loopback excepted); the Azure IMDS path refuses the generic default audience (must be api://<client-id>); the async client no longer blocks the event loop on metadata calls; the httpx.Client leak is fixed; metadata/exchange reads are bounded.

What’s new in v0.8.0

  • OpenFeature provider - new westyx-nexus-openfeature sub-package ships NexusProvider, an AbstractProvider for the OpenFeature Python SDK. Wraps an existing NexusClient; booleans via get_flag, string/integer/float/object via get_config. EvaluationContext is ignored. See OpenFeature provider.

What’s new in v0.5.1

  • Requires Python 3.11+ - Python 3.10 is EOL; minimum is now 3.11.
  • Security improvements - exception messages contain only status codes; file-type secret paths are fully hashed; WIF tokens stripped of whitespace on all providers.
  • WIF reliability - session refreshes before each SSE reconnect; expired sessions no longer cause permanent TTL-polling fallback.
  • CI - tests run on merge requests; publish restricted to main-branch tags.

What’s new in v0.5.0

  • Write API - set_secret, delete_secret, delete_secret_version for programmatic secret management. secret keys only; public keys raise NexusPublicKeyError immediately without a network call.
  • NexusRateLimitedError - new error for HTTP 429 on write endpoints.

What’s new in v0.4.0

  • Path prefix change - all API paths are now /v1/ (previously /api/v1/). Update base_url to use <slug>.westyx.dev.
  • NexusQuarantinedError - new typed error raised on 429 with quarantine body. Both sync and stream paths detect this.
  • on_quarantined(reason, expires_at) observer callback - StreamObserver gains a sixth callback; fires on quarantine events from both the stream and sync paths.
  • Quarantine backoff - stream sleeps until expires_at before reconnecting; background sync is paused during the quarantine window.
  • Removed ConfigEntry.is_public - the field is no longer populated.

Highlights

  • Python 3.11+ - single runtime dependency (httpx); the optional aws_iam WIF provider adds botocore via the [aws-iam] extra
  • Both sync and async APIs - NexusClient and AsyncNexusClient share the same cache + SSE protocol; only the I/O model differs
  • Optional framework adapters - Django, FastAPI, Flask integrations via extras (pip install "westyx-nexus-sdk[django]")
  • Thread-safe TTL cache with atomic snapshot replacement and ETag/304 support
  • SSE live updates - propagates remote changes within milliseconds; falls back to TTL polling after 3 transport errors
  • Typed error hierarchy - NexusError base + 11 subclasses for isinstance / except matching
  • Workload Identity Federation (v0.2.0) - Kubernetes / AWS IRSA / GCP / Azure auto-detection; bearer JWT auth; AWS IAM (aws_iam) for ECS/Fargate/Lambda/plain-EC2 (v0.9.0)
  • Stream observer hooks (v0.2.0) - structured callbacks for SSE lifecycle events
  • AB Testing (v0.3.0) - evaluate_ab for batch per-user flag evaluation
  • File-type secrets (v0.3.0) - get_secret_file_path materialises type: "file" secrets to temp files
  • OpenFeature provider (v0.8.0) - NexusProvider sub-package (westyx-nexus-openfeature) for the OpenFeature Python SDK
