Earthaccess and boto3 issues

[SashaNasonova]

Hello,

I've been trying to create a virtual environment that contains both earthaccess and boto3 packages but I've run into a lot of issues with boto3 not being compatible with earthaccess. Has anyone had any luck with getting earthaccess and boto3 to work together? I am starting out with https://github.com/nasa/LPDAAC-Data-Resources/blob/main/setup/environment.yml.

Thanks!
Sasha

I hit this exact snag last year when trying to pair earthaccess with boto3 for S3‑based downloads. The conflict usually shows up as a botocore version mismatch - earthaccess pins an older botocore range while the latest boto3 pulls a newer one.

First, keep the conda‑forge channel; it’s where both packages live cleanly. Add boto3 directly to the environment.yml under dependencies, but pin botocore to a range that earthaccess is happy with. For earthaccess 0.5.0 the sweet spot is botocore >=1.29.0,<1.30.0, which translates to boto3 ≈ 1.26.0.

So edit the file like:

dependencies:
 - python...

Thanks for tracking the issue and suggesting a fix! @itxashancode we cannot fix old versions but will try to test the minimum dependencies for the next release. A quick fix would also be to update the earthaccess version to the current 0.17.0 @SashaNasonova
