Working with large remote files, for example using Amazon's `boto <http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/>`_ and `boto3 <https://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ Python library, is a pain.
``boto``'s ``key.set_contents_from_string()`` and ``key.get_contents_as_string()`` methods only work for small files, because they're loaded fully into RAM, no streaming.
There are nasty hidden gotchas when using ``boto``'s multipart upload functionality that is needed for large files, and a lot of boilerplate.

``smart_open`` shields you from that. It builds on boto3 and other remote storage libraries, but offers a **clean unified Pythonic API**. The result is less code for you to write and fewer bugs to make.
