Have you tried using the AWS tools on the marketplace built by Aimpoint? https://marketplace.alteryx.com/en-US/apps/424306/aws-tools-by-aimpoint-digital

I'm giving AWS tools by Aimpoint a shot and getting error "Amazon S3 Download (8) No module named 'boto3'"

@kc20 Boto3 is the Python AWS package. I am 99% sure that under the hood Aimpoint installs this package (or checks for it). If you are seeing that error - you probably cannot install it. Can you run Alteryx at admin. Open a Python tool -and type:

 

Alteryx.installPackage("boto3")

- check for errors. try to fix errors. re-run S3 workflow.

@kc20 - I'd recommend doing this via Run command/CLI scripting.
