# Moto - Mock AWS Services [](https://gitter.im/awsmoto/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) [](https://github.com/spulec/moto/actions) [](https://codecov.io/gh/spulec/moto) [](http://docs.getmoto.org) [](https://pypi.org/project/moto/) [](#) [](https://pypistats.org/packages/moto) [](https://github.com/psf/black) ## Install ```console $ pip install moto[ec2,s3,all] ``` ## In a nutshell Moto is a library that allows your tests to easily mock out AWS Services. Imagine you have the following python code that you want to test: ```python import boto3 class MyModel(object): def __init__(self, name, value): self.name = name self.value = value def save(self): s3 = boto3.client('s3', region_name='us-east-1') s3.put_object(Bucket='mybucket', Key=self.name, Body=self.value) ``` Take a minute to think how you would have tested that in the past. Now see how you could test it with Moto: ```python import boto3 from moto import mock_s3 from mymodule import MyModel @mock_s3 def test_my_model_save(): conn = boto3.resource('s3', region_name='us-east-1') # We need to create the bucket since this is all in Moto's 'virtual' AWS account conn.create_bucket(Bucket='mybucket') model_instance = MyModel('steve', 'is awesome') model_instance.save() body = conn.Object('mybucket', 'steve').get()['Body'].read().decode("utf-8") assert body == 'is awesome' ``` With the decorator wrapping the test, all the calls to s3 are automatically mocked out. The mock keeps the state of the buckets and keys. For a full list of which services and features are covered, please see our [implementation coverage](https://github.com/spulec/moto/blob/master/IMPLEMENTATION_COVERAGE.md). ### Documentation The full documentation can be found here: [http://docs.getmoto.org/en/latest/](http://docs.getmoto.org/en/latest/)
