Is boto library thread-safe?

Question

Specifically, I'm interested in using a DynamoDB table object from multiple threads (puts, gets, updates, etc). If that's not safe, then is there a safe way (i.e., maybe one table object per thread)? Any other gotchas or tips about working with threads in boto appreciated.

Answer 1

Boto library uses httplib which is generally not safe. But it is hard to say an entire client thread is unsafe. For more details, check this out - Multithreading / Multiprocessing
