Download: The SDK for Python is available on GitHub or the Python Package Index (PyPi).

Reference documentation: Available on docs.cloud.oracle.com.

Tip

Cloud Shell: The SDK for Python is pre-configured with your credentials and ready to use immediately from within Cloud Shell. For more information on using the SDK for Python from within Cloud Shell, see SDK for Python Cloud Shell Quick Start.

Oracle Linux Cloud Developer image: The SDK for Python is pre-installed on the Oracle Linux Cloud Developer platform image. For more information, see Oracle Linux Cloud Developer.

Python Support

Supported Python Versions and Operating Systems

This table lists the versions of Python supported by the OCI SDK for Python for each operating system:

Operating System Supported Python Versions for CLI
CentOS 7 3.6 to 3.9
CentOS 8 3.6 to 3.9
Oracle Autonomous Linux 7.9 3.6 to 3.9
Oracle Linux 7.8 3.6 to 3.9
Oracle Linux 7.9 3.6 to 3.9
Oracle Linux 8 3.6 to 3.11
Oracle Linux 9 3.7 to 3.11
Ubuntu 18.0.4 3.6 to 3.11
Ubuntu 20.0.4 3.6 to 3.11
Windows Desktop 10 & 11 3.6 to 3.11
Windows Server (2012/2016/2019) 3.6 to 3.11

Newer versions of Python may not be immediately supported. The OCI SDK for Python might work on unlisted operating systems, but we do not test them for compatibility.

Installing with yum

If you're using Oracle Linux 7 or 8, you can use yum to install the OCI SDK for Python.

The following example shows how to use yum to install the OCI SDK for Python 3.6:

sudo yum install python36-oci-sdk

This example shows how to use yum to install the OCI SDK for Python 2.7:

sudo yum install python-oci-sdk

Client-Side Encryption

Client Side Encryption allows you to encrypt data on the client side before storing it locally or using it with other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

To use client-side encryption, you must create a master encryption key (MEK) using the Key Management Service. This can be done using the CreateKey or ImportKey operations.

The MEK is used to generate a Data Encryption Key (DEK) to encrypt each payload. A encrypted copy of this DEK (encrypted under the MEK) and other pieces of metadata are included in the encrypted payload returned by the SDKs so that they can be used for decryption.

Examples

The following code example shows how to encrypt a string:



import oci
 
# user supplied vars
vault_id = TEST_VAULT_OCID
master_key_id = TEST_MASTER_KEY_ID
data_to_encrypt_bytes = b"This is a secret message"
 
config = oci.config.from_file()
kms_master_key = oci.encryption.KMSMasterKey(
    config=config, master_key_id=master_key_id, vault_id=vault_id
)
 
kms_master_key_provider = oci.encryption.KMSMasterKeyProvider(
    config=config,
    kms_master_keys=[kms_master_key]
)
 
crypto_result = crypto.encrypt(kms_master_key_provider, data_to_encrypt_bytes)
ciphertext = crypto_result.get_data()
print("ciphertext: {}".format(ciphertext))
 
# decrypt string example
crypto_result = crypto.decrypt(ciphertext, kms_master_key_provider)
print("unencrypted text: {}".format(crypto_result.get_data()))

The following example shows how to encrypt a file stream:

import oci
import shutil
 
# user supplied vars
vault_id = TEST_VAULT_OCID
master_key_id = TEST_MASTER_KEY_ID
file_to_encrypt = "/file/to/encrypt/message.txt"
output_encrypted_file = "/tmp/message.txt.encrypted"
output_decrypted_file = "/tmp/message.txt.decrypted"
 
# setup OCI KMS keys
config = oci.config.from_file()
kms_master_key = oci.encryption.KMSMasterKey(
    config=config, master_key_id=master_key_id, vault_id=vault_id
)
 
kms_master_key_provider = oci.encryption.KMSMasterKeyProvider(
    config=config,
    kms_master_keys=[kms_master_key]
)
 
# encrypt stream example
with open(output_encrypted_file, 'wb') as output_stream, open(file_to_encrypt, 'rb') as stream_to_encrypt:
    with crypto.create_encryption_stream(
        kms_master_key_provider,
        stream_to_encrypt
    ) as encryption_stream:
        shutil.copyfileobj(encryption_stream, output_stream)
 
# decrypt stream example
with open(output_decrypted_file, 'wb') as output_stream, open(output_encrypted_file, 'rb') as stream_to_decrypt:
    with crypto.create_decryption_stream(
        stream_to_decrypt,
        kms_master_key_provider
    ) as decryption_stream:
        shutil.copyfileobj(decryption_stream, output_stream)
