boto3 is the AWS SDK for Python. It provides Python APIs to interact with AWS services, useful for developers building or automating AWS integrations from Python.
Project status
- Maintenance/health: The source shows continued development and frequent maintenance updates during early 2015 (multiple tagged versions spanning Jan–Apr 2015), but the provided evidence only covers those historical tags—so current (today) maintenance status can’t be confirmed from this dataset alone.
- Update cadence: Based on the shown history, updates appear fairly frequent early on (e.g., ~1 week between 0.0.12 → 0.0.13 and a short interval to 0.0.14), suggesting an evolving period rather than a quiet maintenance mode.

Recent updates
0.0.14
4/9/2015This release updates resource models for CloudFormation, EC2, and IAM, adds high-level S3 transfer helpers that do parallel multipart uploads/downloads, and bumps Botocore to 0.102.0 which brings new service support and API updates. Developers should review dependency changes (botocore, requests) and test S3 transfer behavior due to the new parallel multipart implementation.
Features0.0.13
4/3/2015This release refreshes Boto3 to botocore 0.100.0 and updates service models for CodeDeploy, RDS, Elastic Transcoder, and EC2. It also adds migration documentation and improves resource/document generation, with one notable runtime change in how nested resource references are resolved.
Features0.0.12
3/27/2015Boto 3 0.0.12 mainly expands resource-reference handling and bumps the bundled Botocore dependency to 0.99.0. It also improves generated documentation for nested shapes and blob types, while adding deprecation warnings for the older Botocore interface.
Features0.0.10
3/24/2015This release bumps boto3 to 0.0.10 and updates the bundled botocore dependency to 0.94.0. The release notes emphasize a new session region option and resource-documentation name-collision fixes, but the code also refactors how resource names are normalized and exposed.
BreakingFeatures0.0.11
3/24/2015This release is mostly additive: it bumps Boto3 to 0.0.11, pins Botocore to 0.97.0, and expands resource coverage for EC2 ClassicLink, EC2 volume deletion, IAM CurrentUser loading, and IAM managed policies. The diff is dominated by new resource model definitions and version/dependency updates, with no obvious removals in the Boto3 surface area.
Features0.0.9
2/20/2015Boto3 0.0.9 is primarily a botocore dependency bump to 0.92.0, which brings new AWS service/API coverage and a few STS/S3-related improvements. The repository diff itself is minimal: it updates the package version, changelog, and the pinned botocore requirement, with no direct boto3 client API code changes.
Features0.0.8
2/11/20150.0.8 is a resource-model maintenance release focused on fixing S3 identifier/collection behavior, restoring direct service-level resource creation, and bumping botocore to 0.87.0. The diff also quietly updates several other generated service models, so the practical impact is broader than the release notes suggest.
Features0.0.7
2/5/2015This release is largely a resource-model overhaul: it adds Glacier support, updates resource definitions to a newer JSON schema, and switches Boto3 internals to the new `resource.meta` object access pattern. It also bumps JMESPath and Botocore, bringing in a batch of service-model updates and waiter/API fixes.
BreakingFeatures0.0.6
12/18/2014This release adds SQS queue purge support and first-class waiter support for both clients and resource objects, along with updated waiter documentation. It also bumps Botocore to 0.80.0 and removes the unused six dependency, but the code diff reveals a few extra resource-model changes not called out in the notes.
Features0.0.5
12/16/2014Boto3 0.0.5 adds batch actions for resource collections and bumps the bundled Botocore to 0.78.0. The Botocore upgrade brings SQS purge-queue support, new OpsWorks resource capabilities, Route53 resource ID customizations, a retry/signature fix, and improved JSON blob serialization.
Features0.0.4
12/4/2014boto3 0.0.4 upgrades the bundled botocore to 0.77.0 and regenerates service/resource models, including EC2 and Glacier. The release notes focus on new API support (Kinesis PutRecords, IAM GetAccountAuthorizationDetails, Route53 hosted-zone comment updates) plus fixes for JSON base64 serialization, timestamp validation, and SQS message bodies.
Features0.0.3
11/26/2014Boto3 0.0.3 is primarily a Botocore refresh to 0.76.0, bringing the Data Pipeline, Elastic Transcoder, custom response parsing, and S3 SigV4 signing updates from the release notes. The boto3 library source itself is unchanged; most repo changes are version metadata and dependency/CI housekeeping.
Features0.0.2
11/26/2014Boto3 0.0.2 expands the generated resource layer with CloudFormation and OpsWorks models and adds the documented AWS CodeDeploy, Config, KMS, and Lambda support. It also introduces Boto3-specific user-agent handling and refreshes the bundled resource data/dependencies, including several silent model updates in existing services.
Features0.0.1
11/26/2014This release is an initial developer preview refresh of Boto 3, adding broad AWS service coverage for common resource operations and low-level client access. It is primarily a feature/availability update rather than a bug-fix or compatibility release.
