If I want to use Python instead of Node, do I replace

```auto
$ npm install aws-sdk --save-dev

```

with the following?

```auto
pip install boto3

```

Or do I still need to install aws-sdk for Node?

Hmm sadly I don’t have a whole lot of experience with Python. Hopefully somebody else can chime in!
