how to check awscli and compatible botocore package is installed

Question

I am trying to learn python for aws using boto3 so I was trying to execute code given here https://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/s3-example-creating-buckets.html I got errors module boto3 not found
so I upgraded to boto3 based on an answer here Unable to install boto3 mentioned to use pip3 install boto3 issuing of this command gives me following output

C:\Users\DEEL>pip3 install boto3

80 which is incompatible.
Installing collected packages: botocore, boto3
  Found existing installation: botocore 1.10.79
    Uninstalling botocore-1.10.79:

in this output there is a line awscli 1.15.80 has requirement botocore==1.10.79, but you'll have botocore 1.10. 80 which is incompatible.

so based on link here How to upgrade AWS CLI to the latest version? I upgraded awscli pip3 install –upgrade awscli got following output on screen

    Uninstalling awscli-1.15.80:

Successfully installed awscli-1.15.81

my question is what is that incompatibility message which I got when installing boto3 awscli 1.15.80 has requirement botocore==1.10.79, but you'll have botocore 1.10. 80 which is incompatible. how do I check the compatibility of awscli and botocore installations and what should be done on my machine so that I don't face problems in further development work.

pip3 list shows following

C:\Users\DEEL>pip3 list
Package         Version
--------------- -------
awscli          1.15.81
boto3           1.7.80
botocore        1.10.80
colorama        0.3.9
docutils        0.14
jmespath        0.9.3
pip             18.0
pyasn1          0.4.4
python-dateutil 2.7.3
PyYAML          3.13
rsa             3.4.2
s3transfer      0.1.13
setuptools      39.0.1
six             1.11.0

What should I do now so that awscli and botocore are compatible?

However I would like to mention the code which I was trying from https://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/s3-example-creating-buckets.html executed successfully after all this work.

Answer 1

Same issue here and how I solved is shown below.

Upgrade aws-cli to latest version

$ pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user

Uninstall existing previous version of botocore and boto3

$ pip3 uninstall botocore
$ pip3 uninstall boto3

And Install again

$ pip3 install botocore
$ pip3 install boto3

Result log
