Overview

pyvider is the core framework for building Terraform providers in Python. It implements the Terraform plugin protocol, allowing developers to create providers using Python instead of Go, with support for resources, data sources, provider configuration, and state management.

The framework handles the complexity of the Terraform plugin protocol (both version 5 and 6), allowing you to focus on implementing your provider's business logic using familiar Python patterns and types.
