It is misguiding to say that boto supports Python 3. The boto3 repository (https://github.com/boto/boto3 https://github.com/boto/boto3) is experimental and far from feature completion. I am even not sure if it's API compatible with boto. Further, it has been dormant for quite some time. boto3: https://github.com/boto/boto3/tree/develop/boto3 https://github.com/boto/boto3/tree/develop/boto3 boto: https://github.com/boto/boto/tree/develop/boto https://github.com/boto/boto/tree/develop/boto It don't understand why python3wos changed its status.

It's not the boto3 repository, it's just boto, at https://github.com/boto/boto https://github.com/boto/boto Maybe it's gone green because the boto project maintainers have closed this issue: https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/677 https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/677 - at the end of the thread Daniel Taylor says 'Python 3 support now works for S3, SQS, Kinesis, and CloudTrail' What is it that makes a project go green on the wos? These pull requests seem to indicate that someone has completed work on a whole bunch of other modules to make them Python 3 compatible but the pull requests have not yet been integrated. https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2354 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2354 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2355 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2355 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2356 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2356 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2357 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2357 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2358 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2358 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2359 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2359 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2361 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2361 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2362 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2362 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2363 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2363 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2364 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2364 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2365 https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/2365 So maybe its close but not there yet. Strange that the pythonwos is showing it as green. I'm using the latest version from github for S3 access with Python 3 and it works fine.

  Almost certainly the WOS is looking for PyPI's Python 3 trove classifier Programming Language :: Python :: 3 which was added [0] as part of the initial Py3k port discussed in #667. So what this means is as of July 2, import boto won't blow up on Python 3, even though it's not yet API-compatible with Python 2.

    Mea culpa. Seems Python 3 support is there for some modules but on the way for others. The wos isn't right. Dang you might want to take this off the front page.

      Why would you take it off the front page? At the very least this is useful information about how the WOS works.

        Wow. I wonder what low-life downvoted this entirely innocent comment. Now continue with this one, surely you'll manage -60, especially if you have a voting ring. Quick, it will likely be the only accomplishment you'll achieve today, if not for the rest of your life.
