CherryPy ASK SDK

Extending Ask SDK to work with CherryPy.

Quick Start

Mandatory warning from the upstream ask-sdk for python.

Warning

These features are currently in beta. You can view the source code in the Ask Python Sdk repo on GitHub. The interface might change when the features are released as stable.

If you already have a skill built using the ASK SDK skill builders, then you only need to do the following to set this up in your CherryPy application:

import cherrypy
import cherrypy_ask_sdk
from ask_sdk_core.skill_builder import SkillBuilder

sb = SkillBuilder()
# Register all handlers, interceptors etc.
# For eg : sb.add_request_handler(LaunchRequestHandler())

# add the ask_sdk_skill tool in the global ``cherrypy.tools`` toolbox.
# Passing the cherrypy.tools toolbox is the default, but passing it
# explicitly just to make it more explicit.
cherrypy_ask_sdk.add_in_toolbox(cherrypy.tools)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cherrypy.quickstart(
        config={
            '/': {
                'tools.ask_sdk_skill.on': True,
                'tools.ask_sdk_skill.skill': sb.create(),
                'tools.ask_sdk_skill.verify_signature': True,
                'tools.ask_sdk_skill.verify_timestamp': True
            }
        }
    )

Installation

pip install cherrypy-ask-sdk

Features

• Works as an extension on skills built using ASK SDK. No need to learn something new.
• Provides default request signature and request timestamp verification.
• Provides a way to register multiple skills in the tree.

Note

This package was heavily inspired by the official Flask Ask SDK.
