As a library, this should not pin to a specific version of botocore or boto3

As a library, aiobotocre should not require a specific version of any of these in the setup.py:

• botocore
• boto3
• awscli

If this were an application, it would be different. But in order to use this library with a wide variety of other libraries, you want to use >= not a combination of >= and < which is effectively an ==.

I have had to regretfully remove this and things that depend on it from a JupyterHub/JupyterLab system I maintain because it wouldn't allow me to upgrade to the latest version of botocore and boto3 and hence prevented other tools from working properly.

Yeah especially with the new pip resolver that fails on conflicts the current setup makes it very difficult to include aiobotocore in anything

[thehesiod]

this is due to how this module overrides many classes in botocore, please see history: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiobotocore/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+pin. Otherwise we'd need to vendor botocore, which means it wouldn't match the botocore installed next to it. If you'd like a newer botocore please open a ticket or if you have any other suggestions please feel free to re-open.

We'll just tell our customers to use awswrangler instead so we can stick with sane dependency management.

Same problem here, it is impossible to install s3fs and boto3 at the same time because of the dependency generated by this strict policy of installing a specific version of botocore.
At this point I am forced to do not use s3fs nor aiobotocore and use awswrangler or create my own s3filesystem handler.

aiobotocore is about to drop out of openSUSE Tumbleweed because it can't keep up with botocore and boto3

[thehesiod]

so ya if it needs to match botocore/boto3 then we'll have to vendor botocore ;(

[thehesiod]

I'm not even sure how that would work, because when in botocore it does an import it will need to import from the vendored copy as well, which I think means we have to re-write all the import statements
