AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Async client for AWS services using botocore and aiohttp, enabling non-blocking access to S3, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and other AWS APIs within asyncio applications.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with 8 runtime dependencies (aiohttp, botocore, aioitertools, and others). Active maintenance—last release 12 days ago, repository at 1423 stars with recent commits.

Apache-2.0 permissive license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; suitable for most projects.

Usage

pip install aiobotocore

import asyncio
from aiobotocore.session import get_session

async def example():
    session = get_session()
    async with session.create_client('s3', region_name='us-west-2') as client:
        resp = await client.list_buckets()
        print(resp)

asyncio.run(example())

Requires Python 3.10 or later; AWS credentials must be configured (via environment variables, IAM role, or passed to create_client).

Verdict: Well-maintained async AWS client in the top 100 PyPI packages with no known vulnerabilities. Permissive Apache-2.0 license and low install friction make it a solid choice for async-first Python applications needing AWS integration. Requires Python 3.10+.

Needs verification

Whether all AWS service methods are fully async or if some fall back to blocking behavior
Performance characteristics compared to synchronous botocore in typical workloads
Compatibility guarantees with specific botocore versions beyond the runtime dependency
