Instead of hand-writing policy JSON, you write Python code using awacs classes like PolicyDocument, Statement, Principal, and Action, then serialize to JSON. The library validates policy structure and types as you build, catching common errors before the policy reaches AWS.\n\nIt's designed to work with AWS IAM, S3, and other AWS services that accept policy documents. The library has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to add to infrastructure-as-code projects. It's actively maintained and supports Python 3.9 and later.","worth_installing":"Yes. awacs is actively maintained, has no dependencies, supports current Python versions, carries no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014writing AWS policies in code with validation. Use it if you're building infrastructure-as-code that needs to generate IAM policies programmatically."},"id":"awacs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awacs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awacs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/awacs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"awacs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"AWS Access Policy Language creation library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":808633,"position":5013,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6.0"}
