I am trying to figure how to do proper error handling with boto3.
I am trying to create an IAM user:
def create_user(username, iam_conn):
try:
As a few others already mentioned, you can catch certain errors using the service client (service_client.exceptions.<ExceptionClass>
) or resource (service_resource.meta.client.exceptions.<ExceptionClass>
), however it is not well documented (also which exceptions belong to which clients). So here is how to get the complete mapping at time of writing (January 2020) in region EU (Ireland) (eu-west-1
):
import boto3, pprint
region_name = 'eu-west-1'
session = boto3.Session(region_name=region_name)
exceptions = {
service: list(boto3.client('sts').exceptions._code_to_exception)
for service in session.get_available_services()
}
pprint.pprint(exceptions, width=20000)
Here is a subset of the pretty large document:

Ex:
from boto3 import client
cli = client('iam')
try:
cli.create_user(
UserName = 'Brian'
)
except cli.exceptions.EntityAlreadyExistsException:
pass
a CloudWatch example:
cli = client('logs')
try:
cli.create_log_group(
logGroupName = 'MyLogGroup'
)
except cli.exceptions.ResourceAlreadyExistsException:
pass
In case you have to deal with the arguably unfriendly logs
client (CloudWatch Logs put-log-events), this is what I had to do to properly catch Boto3 client exceptions:
try:
### Boto3 client code here...
except boto_exceptions.ClientError as error:
Log.warning("Catched client error code %s",
error.response['Error']['Code'])
if error.response['Error']['Code'] in ["DataAlreadyAcceptedException",
"InvalidSequenceTokenException"]:
Log.debug(
"Fetching sequence_token from boto error response['Error']['Message'] %s",
error.response["Error"]["Message"])
# NOTE: apparently there's no sequenceToken attribute in the response so we have
# to parse response["Error"]["Message"] string
sequence_token = error.response["Error"]["Message"].split(":")[-1].strip(" ")
Log.debug("Setting sequence_token to %s", sequence_token)
This works both at first attempt (with empty LogStream) and subsequent ones.
I found it very useful, since the Exceptions are not documented, to list all exceptions to the screen for this package. Here is the code I used to do it:
import botocore.exceptions
def listexns(mod):
#module = __import__(mod)
exns = []
for name in botocore.exceptions.__dict__:
if (isinstance(botocore.exceptions.__dict__[name], Exception) or
name.endswith('Error')):
exns.append(name)
for name in exns:
print('%s.%s is an exception type' % (str(mod), name))
return
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
if len(sys.argv) <= 1:
print('Give me a module name on the $PYTHONPATH!')
print('Looking for exception types in module: %s' % sys.argv[1])
listexns(sys.argv[1])
Which results in:
