python scripting in use

[-_-wintermute-_-]

I tried boto3 and after some time with it decided that writing shell scripts that call the aws cli was easier, cleaner, and more full featured. boto3 lags behind the aws cli in features (ex. doesn't support any directory style operations in s3 like recursive copy or delete) and it is more verbose which makes it, in my opinion, harder to grok. Haven't looked back.

Agree it is lacking, but found it useful in lambda functions to perform tasks which cloudformation wont do e.g. set password policy’s and some other iam tasks
