Boto 3

Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now stable and recommended for
general use. It can be used side-by-side with Boto in the same
project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing projects as
well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new feature
work will be focused on Boto3.
To assist users who still depend on Boto and cannot immediately
switch over, we will be triaging and addressing critical issues and
PRs in Boto in the short term. As more users make the switch to
Boto3, we expect to reduce our maintenance involvement over time.
If we decide on a cutoff date or any significant changes to our
maintenance plan, we will make pre-announcements well ahead of
schedule to allow ample time for our users to adapt/migrate.

Introduction
Boto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web
Services. Currently, all features work with Python 2.6 and 2.7. Work
is under way to support Python 3.3+ in the same codebase. Modules
are being ported one at a time with the help of the open source
community, so please check below for compatibility with Python
3.3+.
To port a module to Python 3.3+, please view our Contributing
Guidelines and the Porting Guide. If you would like, you can open an
issue to let others know about your work in progress.
Tests must pass on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 for pull requests to
be accepted.
