Using the AWS SDK for Python v4 - AWS SDK for Python v4

Experimental: This documentation covers the AWS SDK for Python v4, which is experimental, non-GA software intended for evaluation and testing only. Do not use it for production workloads. For production applications, use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3). To understand the differences between the two SDKs, see Choosing the right AWS SDK for Python.

Using the AWS SDK for Python v4

This chapter describes general programming patterns for supported AWS services, beyond what is covered in Getting started with the AWS SDK for Python v4. For service-specific operations, see Working with AWS services.

Before using these patterns, configure credentials and an AWS Region as described in Configuration.
