How to use awscli inside python script?

Question

I'm using aws ec2 service with awscli. Now I want to put all the commands I type in the console into a python script. I see that if I write import awscli inside a python script it works fine but I don't understand how to use it inside the script. For instance how do I execute the commands aws ec2 run-instances <arguments> inside the python script after import awscli? Just to make it clear, I'm not looking for a solution like os.system('aws ec2 run-instances <arguments>'), I'm looking for something like

import awscli
awscli.ec2_run-instances(<arguments>)

You can do it with brilliant sh package. You could mimic python package with sh doing wrapping for you.

import sh
s3 = sh.bash.bake("aws s3")
s3.put("file","s3n://bucket/file")
