It supports a broad range of AWS services across compute, storage, databases, networking, and management categories, with varying levels of Python 3 compatibility across different modules. The package works with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4.\n\nThe package is now in maintenance-only mode. Its developers explicitly state that the next version is stable and recommended for general use, and that all new feature work and API updates are focused there going forward. While Boto can run side-by-side with its successor in the same project, the project repository is archived and no longer actively maintained. The last release was 11-July-2018.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining an existing legacy application that already uses Boto. The package is abandoned, its last release was 11-July-2018, and the maintainers explicitly recommend its successor for all new projects and active development. For any new work, use the next version instead. Installing Boto on new projects locks you into an unsupported codebase with no path for security updates or new AWS service support."},"id":"boto","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/boto","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/boto.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/boto/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-07-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"boto","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Amazon Web Services Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":7313071,"position":1756,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.49.0"}
