aws_s3: SyntaxError: invalid syntax on RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 targets

[asarubbo]

Summary

Hi, by moving (in my case) from:
ansible-6.7.0 / ansible-core-2.13.8
to
ansible-7.4.0 / ansible-core-2.14.4

I'm unable to use anymore aws_s3 where the target machine is a CentOS 7

This is what I get by running ansible-playbook with -vvv:

I'm aware that README says "Due to the AWS SDK Python Support Policy this collection requires Python 3.6 or greater." but I decided to make a bug report considering that it affects RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 that does not provide by default the boto/botocore libraries compiled for python3

AWS SDK versions

$ pip show boto boto3 botocore

I don't have pip, but I can assure I have:
boto3-1.26.114
botocore-1.29.114

Configuration

$ ansible-config dump --only-changed
CONFIG_FILE() = /home/ago/.ansible.cfg
DEFAULT_FORKS(/home/ago/.ansible.cfg) = 30
DEFAULT_HOST_LIST(/home/ago/.ansible.cfg) = ['/home/ago/git/ansible/common/hosts']
DEFAULT_REMOTE_USER(/home/ago/.ansible.cfg) = root
DEPRECATION_WARNINGS(/home/ago/.ansible.cfg) = False
HOST_KEY_CHECKING(/home/ago/.ansible.cfg) = False
INTERPRETER_PYTHON(/home/ago/.ansible.cfg) = auto_legacy_silent

OS / Environment

Target machine is a up-to-date CentOS 7:
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

The host where ansible is running is an up-to-date Gentoo.

Steps to Reproduce

      aws_s3:
        aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
        aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"
        s3_url: "{{ s3_url }}"
        bucket: "{{ website_bucket }}"
        object: "/file"
        dest: "/tmp/file"
        mode: get
        overwrite: different
        aws_region: "{{ aws_region }}"

@asarubbo,

Thanks for taking the time to open this Issue. The AWS SDK that this collection depends on has dropped support for Python <3.6. As a result, with release 2.0.0 we dropped support for Python < 3.6. The specific code you're having problems with was introduced in release 5.0.0, so you may be able to use the 4.x releases of this collection for your CentOS 7 boxes. However, if you wish to use newer versions you'll need to use Python 3.6 and install a supported version of botocore.

While CentOS has built python-botocore-1.12.75-1.el7, this is also a version of botocore which the collection no longer supports.

The only exception where we're maintaining Python 2.7 support is the ec2_metadata_facts module.
