Package: boto
boto 2.49.0Released: 11-July-2018Boto 3Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now
stable and recommended for general use.  It can be used side-by-side with Boto
in the same project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing
projects as well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new
feature work will be focused on Boto3.To assist users who still depend on Boto and cannot immediately switch over, we
will be triaging and addressing critical issues and PRs in Boto in the short
term. As more users make the switch to Boto3, we expect to reduce our
maintenance involvement over time. If we decide on a cutoff date or any
significant changes to our maintenance plan, we will make pre-announcements
well ahead of schedule to allow ample time for our users to adapt/migrate.IntroductionBoto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web Services.
Currently, all features work with Python 2.6 and 2.7. Work is under way to
support Python 3.3+ in the same codebase. Modules are being ported one at
a time with the help of the open source community, so please check below
for compatibility with Python 3.3+.To port a module to Python 3.3+, please view ourContributing Guidelinesand thePorting Guide. If you would like, you can open an issue to let
others know about your work in progress. Testsmustpass on Python
2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 for pull requests to be accepted.ServicesAt the moment, boto supports:ComputeAmazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) (Python 3)Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) (Python 3)AutoScaling (Python 3)Amazon Kinesis (Python 3)AWS Lambda (Python 3)Amazon EC2 Container Service (Python 3)Content DeliveryAmazon CloudFront (Python 3)DatabaseAmazon Relational Data Service (RDS)Amazon DynamoDB (Python 3)Amazon SimpleDB (Python 3)Amazon ElastiCache (Python 3)Amazon Redshift (Python 3)Deployment and ManagementAWS Elastic Beanstalk (Python 3)AWS CloudFormation (Python 3)AWS Data Pipeline (Python 3)AWS Opsworks (Python 3)AWS CloudTrail (Python 3)AWS CodeDeploy (Python 3)Administration & SecurityAWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) (Python 3)AWS Key Management Service (KMS) (Python 3)AWS Config (Python 3)AWS CloudHSM (Python 3)Application ServicesAmazon CloudSearch (Python 3)Amazon CloudSearch Domain (Python 3)Amazon Elastic Transcoder (Python 3)Amazon Simple Workflow Service (SWF) (Python 3)Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) (Python 3)Amazon Simple Notification Server (SNS) (Python 3)Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) (Python 3)Amazon Cognito Identity (Python 3)Amazon Cognito Sync (Python 3)Amazon Machine Learning (Python 3)MonitoringAmazon CloudWatch (EC2 Only) (Python 3)Amazon CloudWatch Logs (Python 3)NetworkingAmazon Route53 (Python 3)Amazon Route 53 Domains (Python 3)Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) (Python 3)Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) (Python 3)AWS Direct Connect (Python 3)Payments and BillingAmazon Flexible Payment Service (FPS)StorageAmazon Simple Storage Service (S3) (Python 3)Amazon Glacier (Python 3)Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)Google Cloud StorageWorkforceAmazon Mechanical TurkOtherMarketplace Web Services (Python 3)AWS Support (Python 3)The goal of boto is to support the full breadth and depth of Amazon
Web Services.  In addition, boto provides support for other public
services such as Google Storage in addition to private cloud systems
like Eucalyptus, OpenStack and Open Nebula.Boto is developed mainly using Python 2.6.6 and Python 2.7.3 on Mac OSX
and Ubuntu Maverick.  It is known to work on other Linux distributions
and on Windows.  Most of Boto requires no additional libraries or packages
other than those that are distributed with Python.  Efforts are made
to keep boto compatible with Python 2.5.x but no guarantees are made.InstallationInstall viapip:$ pip install botoInstall from source:$ git clone git://github.com/boto/boto.git
