python-repositories

Unified repository interfaces and technology-specific adapters for Python projects.

Subclass an adapter in your own repository to add domain-specific methods while reusing connection management and CRUD operations.

Architecture

Layer	Responsibility
Interfaces	Abstract contracts for connection, context, and CRUD
Adapters	Technology-specific base classes (RedisAdapter, MinioAdapter)
Your project	Subclass an adapter and add domain methods

Optional dependencies

Install with the extras you need:

uv add python-repositories[redis]
uv add python-repositories[minio]
uv add python-repositories[redis,minio]

Redis (JsonRepositoryInterface)

Requires Redis with the RedisJSON module (e.g. redis-stack).

Environment variable	Description
REDIS_URI	Redis connection URL (e.g. redis://localhost:6379)

MinIO (ObjectRepositoryInterface)

Environment variable	Description
MINIO_ENDPOINT	MinIO server endpoint
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY	Access key
MINIO_SECRET_KEY	Secret key
MINIO_BUCKET	Bucket name (created on connect if missing)

Quick start

JSON documents with Redis

from python_repositories.examples.user_json_repository import UserJsonRepository

with UserJsonRepository() as repo:
    repo.save_user("alice", {"name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com"})
    user = repo.get_user("alice")
    repo.delete_user("alice")

Binary objects with MinIO

from io import BytesIO

from python_repositories.examples.artifact_object_repository import (
    ArtifactObjectRepository,
)

with ArtifactObjectRepository() as repo:
    repo.store_artifact("report-1", BytesIO(b"pdf bytes here"))
    data = repo.get_artifact("report-1")

Subclassing in your own project

from python_repositories import RedisAdapter

class UserRepository(RedisAdapter):
    def _key(self, user_id: str) -> str:
        return f"user:{user_id}"

    def get_user(self, user_id: str) -> dict | None:
        return self.get(self._key(user_id))

    def save_user(self, user_id: str, user: dict) -> None:
        self.set(self._key(user_id), user)

Public API

from python_repositories import (
    ConnectionAwareInterface,
    ContextAwareInterface,
    JsonRepositoryInterface,
    ObjectRepositoryInterface,
    RedisAdapter,
    MinioAdapter,
