      Do you mean that Paws is better than the packages which I mentioned? What is Paws advantage?
        Paws supports the full AWS API, not just S3. It uses the metadata from (IIRC) the Python SDK, and most interfaces are generated programatically from there. So, it is not limited to whatever the author of the module needed to solve his particular problems.

        Besides that, it is actively maintained and the author is quite nice.

        From what I can gather as an "innocent bystander", the module has been updated recently (which means there is an active maintainer).
        Looking at the testers matrix, he might need help with MacOS
