from fleece import boto3 hides boto3 features

from fleece import boto3
session = boto3.session.Session(region_name="us-east-1")

Fails:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "stream.py", line 17, in <module>
    session = boto3.session.Session(region_name="us-east-1")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'session'

Is there another way to organize fleece so that it doesn't hide or change boto3 behavior?

Meh - that's not good. Thanks for the report - we'll take a look and fix it. cc/ @miguelgrinberg

Hmm. Yeah, I honestly did not intend this to be a 100% complete wrapper for boto3, just client() and resource() (as documented). But I guess it makes sense to make it so. Thanks for the report, I'll add the remaining symbols exported by boto3 to our wrapper.

The main issue with this is in Lambda functions a lot of people create a session object instead of a client so they don't have to specify the region_name multiple times and so they can overload credentials if needed.

I also see it used in multi threading situations.
