Boto3: module 'boto3' has no attribute 'client'

[ghost]

I'm using python 3.5.1 and boto3==1.3.1

Python 3.5.1 (default, Jan 22 2016, 08:52:08) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)] on darwin

This is what I get trying to run boto3

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_cognito.py", line 7, in <module>
    client = boto3.client('cognito-identity')
AttributeError: module 'boto3' has no attribute 'client'

Any ideas?

Never mind. There was a file named boto3.py around with nothing inside it. Sorry my bad.

No problem, glad you were able to figure it out.

I had the same issue - because of using boto instead of boto3

@varun4github Hi! I have also run into the same issue. Have you had any luck resolving this?

If someone using conda to setup the Python env or install boto3, Please upgrade your anaconda to the latest version.
The same problem fixed as above.

I am using latest pip to install boto3, still getting the same issue
