Porting mturk module from boto to boto3

[rzlee]

Are there any plans to port the mechanical turk module from python 2 boto to boto3?

[jamesls]

We don't have any immediate plans to port mechanical turk to boto3, but I'll mark this as a feature request.

Seconding this request — MTurk support is essential for my needs.

@jamesls My company is giving me some bandwidth to work on OS in the next few of weeks - is this something you'd be interested in receiving contributions for?

[chrisconley]

After digging a bit, it looks like json files need to be generated in botocore, which are usually generated internally due to internal knowledge of the AWS services.

I'd still love to contribute if there's anything I can do.

@jamesls, as it is not a priority for you, could you please explain to us what is necessary to do to contribute, or be able to use boto or boto3 with mturk?

Is it better/easier to migrate boto module to python3, or to migrate it to boto3 (is it possible as it looks the project architecture is different).

Here is boto mturk module: https://github.com/boto/boto/tree/develop/boto/mturk

And here are the guidelines to migrate boto module to python3: http://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/porting_guide.html But this guide looks to be obsolete, as there is not anymore whitelist in tests/test.py
Does it mean that boto is now compatible with python3?

Thanks!

Let me know if there's a way to contribute, this is essential for my use as well.

Would love to know what's left in porting mturk to boto3. Thanks.

What's the go to SDK for mturk these days? Ruby? R? The R client seems to be the most up to date and feature complete.

Good news everyone!

[jamesls]

Closing, this is now supported. Make sure you upgrade botocore to pull in the mturk client.
