A low-level interface to a growing number of Amazon Web Services. The botocore package is the foundation for the AWS CLI as well as boto3.
Botocore is maintained and published by Amazon Web Services.
On 2023-12-13, support was dropped for Python 3.7. This follows the Python Software Foundation end of support for the runtime which occurred on 2023-06-27. For more information, see this blog post.
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:
$ git clone https://github.com/boto/botocore.git
$ cd botocore
$ python -m venv .venv
...
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m pip install -e .$ pip install botocoreAfter installing botocore
Next, set up credentials (in e.g. ~/.aws/credentials):
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRETThen, set up a default region (in e.g. ~/.aws/config):
[default]
region=us-east-1Other credentials configuration method can be found here
Then, from a Python interpreter:
>>> import botocore.session
>>> session = botocore.session.get_session()
>>> client = session.create_client('ec2')
>>> print(client.describe_instances())We use GitHub issues for tracking bugs and feature requests and have limited
