# AWS SDK for Python (boto3)

Write Python against AWS without guessing at the patterns

## What this does

You are writing Python that talks to AWS, and you are not sure how the pieces are meant to fit together. This brings the usual patterns to hand: making a client, wiring up credentials, dealing with errors, walking through results, moving S3 files, working with DynamoDB tables. Reach for it any time your code imports boto3 or botocore.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set up a client, session or credentials correctly
- Page through long result sets
- Handle AWS errors instead of crashing

## About AWS SDK for Python (boto3)

Development patterns for the AWS SDK for Python, covering the parts of boto3 and botocore that come up whenever Python code talks to AWS services.

It spans creating service clients and resources, configuring sessions and credentials, catching errors with ClientError, using paginators and waiters, S3 file transfers and presigned URLs, DynamoDB table operations, and client configuration generally.

Use it whenever Python code imports boto3 or botocore, or when the question is about carrying out AWS operations from Python.
