Boto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web Services.
|
|
At the moment, boto supports:
|
|
|
|
* S3 (Simple Storage Service) via the REST API
|
|
* SQS (SimpleQueue Service) via the Query API
|
|
* EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) via the Query API
|
|
* Mechanical Turk via the Query API
|
|
* SimpleDB via the Query API.
|
|
* CloudFront via the REST API
|
|
* CloudWatch via the Query API
|
|
* AutoScale via the Query API
|
|
* Elastic Load Balancer via the Query API
|
|
|
|
The intent is to support additional services in the future.
|
|
|
|
The goal of boto is to provide a very simple, easy to use, lightweight
|
|
wrapper around the Amazon services. Not all features supported by the
|
|
Amazon Web Services will be supported in boto. Basically, those
|
|
features I need to do what I want to do are supported first. Other
|
|
features and requests are welcome and will be accomodated to the best
|
|
of my ability. Patches and contributions are welcome!
|
|
|
|
Boto was written using Python 2.5.1 on Mac OSX. It has also been tested
|
|
on Linux Ubuntu using Python 2.5.1. Boto requires no additional
|
|
libraries or packages other than those that are distributed with Python 2.5.1.
|
|
Efforts are made to keep boto compatible with Python 2.4.x but no
|
|
guarantees are made. Boto should also run on Python 2.6, albeit with
|
|
a few deprecation warnings.
|
|
|
|
There is some documentation for boto, mainly in the form of tutorials.
|
|
Check in the doc directory of the distribution. You can also check out
|
|
the unit tests in the tests directory of the distribution for examples of use.
|
|
|
|
You AWS credentials can be passed into the methods that create S3 and SQS
|
|
connections. Alternatively, boto will check for the existance of the
|
|
following environment variables to ascertain your credentials:
|
|
|
|
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Your AWS Access Key ID
|
|
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Your AWS Secret Access Key

Changes
|
|
|
|
Rather than list changes in the README file, I have decided to refer people to the
|
|
excellent subversion browsing available on googlecode.
