检查 Boto3 版本

Question

How do I check the version of boto3 I am running?

I tried going into REPL and running these commands:

>>> import boto3
>>> boto3.Version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'boto3' has no attribute 'Version'

Answer 1

I know this is late but you can also use:

pip show boto3

Answer 2

Try using .__version__ or .version

PEP 8 standard is to use the __version__ attribute for this, however it is worth noting that some modules implement version instead.

Answer 3

You can always use dir function to know all the properties and methods of object.

dir(boto3)

['DEFAULT_SESSION', 'NullHandler', 'Session', '__author__', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__', '__version__', '_get_default_session', 'client', 'docs', 'exceptions', 'logging', 'resource', 'resources', 'session', 'set_stream_logger', 'setup_default_session', 'utils']

From this output you can see __version__ .

boto3.__version__

Answer 4

An alternative to check the version of any installed packages, In the terminal

pip freeze | grep boto3

Note: you can replace boto3 with any other package name
