botocore-a-la-carte
botocore-a-la-carte
is a re-packaging of botocore
such that each service's data JSON exists in a
separate package, and are opted-into through package extras.
The package botocore-a-la-carte
contains the base code/resources for botocore
to operate, and has
a package extra per service (referencing a package which contains just the JSON data for that service).
Installation and Usage
⚠️ The package extras must be installed in the same directory as this package (such as in a virtual environment).
This package does not support being installed in separate locations pointed to by sys.path
.
This is a limitation of the core botocore
package and the Python packaging ecosystem. ⚠️
Example:
botocore-a-la-carte
with no extras allows you to use core botocore
functionality
(e.g. load credentials, sign requests, etc...).
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install botocore-a-la-carte
...
$ python
>>> import botocore
...
If you require specific service support, specify the service names as an extras:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install botocore-a-la-carte[s3, ec2]
...
$ python
>>> import botocore.session
>>> session = botocore.session.get_session()
>>> client = session.create_client('ec2')
>>> print(client.describe_instances())
