Answer:
Boto provides support for MultiDelete. Here’s an example of how you would use it:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
import boto.s3 conn = boto.s3.connect_to_region('us-east-1') # or whatever region you want bucket = conn.get_bucket('mybucket') keys_to_delete = ['mykey1', 'mykey2', 'mykey3', 'mykey4'] result = bucket.delete_keys(keys_to_delete) |
The result will provide information about which delete operations were successful and which, if any, failed. If you want the Quiet mode which tells you only about failures, pass in quiet=True to the delete_keys call.
