Note
You are viewing the documentation for an older version of boto (boto2).
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.
For more information, see the documentation for boto3.
Boto ships with a number of command line utilities, which are installed when the package is installed. This guide outlines which ones are available & what they do.
Note
If you’re not already depending on these utilities, you may wish to check out the AWS-CLI (http://aws.amazon.com/cli/ - User Guide & Reference Guide). It provides much wider & complete access to the AWS services.
The included utilities available are:
dynamodb_dump dynamodb_load
Handle dumping/loading data from DynamoDB tables
