As the title said, please add trove classifier Python 2 only, or preferably fix for Python 3 / polyglot.

This issue is just a query.
First of all, thanks for these scripts.

These scripts seem very light weight compared to the perl scripts (atleast setting them up).

Is there any performance difference bw the perl and these scripts? May I know what was your motivation for writing these?

I often thought that setting up perl scripts was heavy, too many packages to install, CPU used to always hit 100% on EC2 micro instances.

Thanks

'df -l' is not supported in busybox based df which makes it difficult to run this package as a part of a minimal docker container.

I have tried this in the ca-central-1 region, but it doesn't work. If I run boto.ec2.cloudwatch.regions() then ca-central-1 is not in the list of supported regions.

I have heard that you need boto3 for this, I don't see a boto3 port? I may try to write one if it doesn't exist.

use python 3.4 under CentOS 7.3, IAM role setting properly, encounter error while run for example:
[xxxxx ~]$ mon-put-instance-stats.py --mem-util --disk-space-util --disk-path=/
