Boto3 - The AWS SDK for Python
===============================
|Version| |Python| |License|
Boto3 is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) for
Python, which allows Python developers to write software that makes use
of services like Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. You can find the latest, most
up to date, documentation at our `doc site`_, including a list of
services that are supported.
Boto3 is maintained and published by `Amazon Web Services`_.
Notices
-------
On 01/15/2021 deprecation for Python 2.7 was announced and support was dropped
on 07/15/2021. To avoid disruption, customers using Boto3 on Python 2.7 may
need to upgrade their version of Python or pin the version of Boto3. For
more information, see this `blog post <https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/announcing-end-of-support-for-python-2-7-in-aws-sdk-for-python-and-aws-cli-v1/>`__.
Starting in May 2022, we will be dropping support for Python 3.6. This follows the Python Software Foundation `end of support <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/#lifespan>`__ for the runtime which occurred on 2021-12-23.

Getting Started
---------------
Assuming that you have Python and ``virtualenv`` installed, set up your environment and install the required dependencies like this or you can install the library using ``pip``:
.. code-block:: sh
$ git clone https://github.com/boto/boto3.git
$ cd boto3
$ virtualenv venv
...
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m pip install -e .
.. code-block:: sh
$ python -m pip install boto3
Using Boto3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After installing boto3
Next, set up credentials (in e.g. ``~/.aws/credentials``):
.. code-block:: ini
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET
Then, set up a default region (in e.g. ``~/.aws/config``):
.. code-block:: ini
[default]
region=us-east-1
Other credentials configuration method can be found `here <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html>`__
Then, from a Python interpreter:
.. code-block:: python
>>> import boto3
>>> s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
>>> for bucket in s3.buckets.all():
print(bucket.name)
Running Tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can run tests in all supported Python versions using ``tox``. By default,
it will run all of the unit and functional tests, but you can also specify your own
``pytest`` options. Note that this requires that you have all supported
versions of Python installed, otherwise you must pass ``-e`` or run the
``pytest`` command directly:
.. code-block:: sh
$ tox
$ tox -- unit/test_session.py
$ tox -e py26,py33 -- integration/
You can also run individual tests with your default Python version:
.. code-block:: sh
$ pytest tests/unit
