Boto3: Botocore dependency version mismatch

Created on 11 Oct 2016 · 5Comments · Source: boto/boto3

We recently upgraded boto3 to 1.4.1, since that fixed the previous issue I had reported. However, simply installing boto3==1.4.1 caused another set of issues.

In particular, the version of botocore that we had installed (botocore==1.4.56) appears not to be compatible with boto3==1.4.1. We receive errors saying "Unable to load data for: ec2/2016-09-15/service-2".

Looking at the botocore source, their data directory does not have a 2016-09-15 version prior to botocore==1.4.58.

We would have expected installing boto3==1.4.1 to upgrade us to that version of botocore as well, but it did not. Pip reports the botocore dependencies for boto3 to be "Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): botocore<1.5.0,>=1.4.1 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from boto3==1.4.1)"

I'm seeing exactly the same issue "botocore.exceptions.DataNotFoundError: Unable to load data for: ec2/2016-11-15/service-2" with boto3 1.4.2.

A pip list tells me I'm running with:

boto3 (1.4.2)
botocore (1.4.74)

pip uninstall boto3 / pip install boto3==1.4.1 fixes the issue for me.

Yeah that makes sense. At the very least we need to bump up the requirements to have a floor of 1.4.58 for botocore. We will get this updated.

FWIW I had (still have) botocore 1.4.70 installed systemwide with boto3 1.4.2. Had the same error spit out, pip upgraded to botocore 1.4.93 to avoid it.
