boto v2.9.1

date:2013/04/30

Primarily a bugfix release, this release also includes support for the new AWS Support API.

Features

• AWS Support API - A client was added to support the new AWS Support API. It gives programmatic access to Support cases opened with AWS. A short example might look like:

  >>> from boto.support.layer1 import SupportConnection
  >>> conn = SupportConnection()
  >>> new_case = conn.create_case(
  ...     subject='Description of the issue',
  ...     service_code='amazon-cloudsearch',
  ...     category_code='performance',
  ...     communication_body="We're seeing some latency from one of our...",
  ...     severity_code='low'
  ... )
  >>> new_case['caseId']
  u'case-...'
  

  The Support Tutorial has more information on how to use the new API. (commit 8c0451)
