Unknown botocore service error

Question

I am trying to use a recent Amazon translation service with:

transcribe = boto3.client('transcribe')

and I get the following error:

botocore.exceptions.UnknownServiceError: Unknown service: 'transcribe'. Valid service names are: ...

I tried updating boto3 and botocore using:

pip install botocore --upgrade
pip install boto3 --upgrade

Answer 1

The function has not landed in botocore. It is regrettable that use cases appeared in AWS documents already when these service definitions were not yet released in PyPI.

See PR 1356 for merging.
