This package provides a very simple API for retrieving the most up-to-date region list. The region info is pulled from the botocore Github project so this requires a network connection. The advantage to using botocore directly is that the region list is not reliant on the botocore version which is installed. This can be an issue if you are using system packages for example, which may get updates very infrequently and thus may be missing new regions.

pip install aws-regions
There are two main functions in aws-regions. The first function will provide a list of regions based on the AWS partition. By default this is this public AWS partition:
from aws_regions.endpoints import get_regions
# Defaults to "aws" partition
regions = get_regions()
# "aws-cn" partition
cn_region = get_regions(partition='aws-cn')
The second function will return a list of all regions from all three partitions:
from aws_regions.endpoints import get_all_regions
all_regions = get_all_regions() # From aws, aws-cn and aws-us-gov
Please submit issues and requests to Github.
Contributions to aws-regions are welcome and encouraged. See CONTRIBUTING for info on getting started.
