boto 2.38.0

Released: 9-Apr-2015

https://travis-ci.org/boto/boto.svg?branch=develop https://pypip.in/d/boto/badge.svg

Introduction

Boto 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 our Contributing Guidelines and the Porting Guide. If you would like, you can open an issue to let others know about your work in progress. Tests must pass on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 for pull requests to be accepted.

Boto 3

The next major version of Boto is currently in developer preview and can be found in the Boto 3 repository and installed via pip. It supports the latest service APIs and provides a high-level object-oriented interface to many services.

Please try Boto 3 and leave feedback with any issues, suggestions, and feature requests you might have.

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.
