Python Workers Examples

This is a collection of examples for writing Cloudflare Workers in Python. Use these examples to learn how Python Workers work.

Get started

1. git clone https://github.com/cloudflare/python-workers-examples
2. cd hello
3. uvx --from workers-py pywrangler dev
4. Press the b key to open a browser tab, and make a request to your Worker

You can run uvx --from workers-py pywrangler dev in any example project directory to run a local development server using Pywrangler, the CLI for Cloudflare Python Workers. This local development server is powered by workerd, the open-source Workers runtime.

Need to deploy your Worker to Cloudflare? Python Workers are in open beta and have a few limitations.

Examples

• hello/ — the most basic Python Worker
• binding/ — shows how bindings work in Python Workers. Put a key into Workers KV, and then read it.
• fastapi/ — demonstrates how to use the FastAPI package with Python Workers
• query-d1/ - shows how to query D1 with Python Workers
• langchain/ — demonstrates how to use the LangChain package with Python Workers. Currently broken.
• assets/ — An example with an assets binding.
• durable-objects/ — An example with storing state in a Durable Object.
• cron/ — shows a simple cron job.
• workers-ai/ makes a call Workers AI to run inference on Cloudflare's Global Network.
• workflows/ — shows a durable Workflows example.
• opengraph/ — shows how to use HTMLRewriter to generate OpenGraph images with Python Workers.
• image-gen/ — shows how to use Pillow to generate images with Python Workers.
• js-api-pygments/ — shows how to use Pygments to highlight code with Python Workers.
• websocket-stream-consumer/ — shows how to use WebSocket to consume a stream of data with Python Workers.
• chatroom/ - A real-time chatroom using WebSocket.
• sync-http-clients/ — demonstrates outbound HTTP with synchronous Python clients (requests, urllib3, and httpx.Client).
• dynamic-py-py/ — shows how to load and run a Python Worker dynamically at runtime using a Worker Loader binding.
• django/ — runs a naive Django WSGI application directly on Python Workers.
• django-todo-d1/ — uses Django with D1 for a basic TODO application.

Open Beta and Limits

• You must add the python_workers compatibility flag to your Worker while Python Workers are in open beta.
