python 3.x - Can't create s3 resource/client in boto3 -

edit: believe traceback stems sort of issue dependencies. using pip upgrade packages didn't work created new folder , installed scratch , worked out

i'm python novice i'm struggling debug aws lambda i'm writing.

i've narrowed down line of code s3_client = botosession.resource('s3'), giving long traceback syntax error: invalid syntax. botosession variable credentials - botosession = boto3.session.session(aws_access_token, aws_secret_access_token).

i've tried s3_client = boto3.client('s3'), s3_client = boto3.resource('s3'), s3_client = botosession.resource('s3').

when used botosession.client('ses', region) had no issues sending emails.

i found error: client = boto3.client('s3') | aws elastic beanstalk worker environment appeared similar issue, appeared old , wasn't able figure out solution was. tried adding import sys sys.path = [p p in sys.path if not p.endswith('futures-3.0.3-py3.4.egg')] top of file didn't seem work.

the entire traceback follows:

whenever strange things happening, it's idea update things:

sudo pip install pip --upgrade sudo pip install boto --upgrade sudo pip install boto3 --upgrade sudo pip install awscli --upgrade 

if you're using python 3, try pip3 instead of pip.
