Unknown service error botocore

Question

I'm trying to use the recent Amazon transcribe service with:

transcribe = boto3.client('transcribe')

and I get the following error:

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

I've tried upgrading boto3 and botocore using:

pip install botocore --upgrade

pip install boto3 --upgrade

Answer 1

The feature has not landed in botocore yet. It's unfortunate that usage examples appeared in the AWS docs already when those service definitions are not released to PyPI yet.
