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.

Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
First, install the library and set a default region:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ pip install 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
|
|
|
|
Then, from a Python interpreter:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
>>> import boto3
|
|
>>> s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
|
|
>>> for bucket in s3.buckets.all():
|
|
print(bucket.name)
|
|
|
|
Development
|
|

|
|
|
|
Getting Started
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Assuming that you have Python and ``virtualenv`` installed, set up your
|
|
environment and install the required dependencies like this instead of
|
|
the ``pip install boto3`` defined above:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/boto/boto3.git
|
|
$ cd boto3
|
|
$ virtualenv venv
|
|
...
|
|
$ . venv/bin/activate
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
$ pip install -e .
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
``nosetests`` options. Note that this requires that you have all supported
|
|
versions of Python installed, otherwise you must pass ``-e`` or run the
|
|
``nosetests`` 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
|
|
|
|
$ nosetests tests/unit
|
|
|
|
Generating Documentation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Sphinx is used for documentation. You can generate HTML locally with the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements-docs.txt
|
|
$ cd docs
|
|
$ make html
|
|
|
|
