# Connecting to RDS for PostgreSQL with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Python Driver
<a name="PostgreSQL.Connecting.PythonDriver"></a>

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Python Driver is designed as an advanced Python wrapper. This wrapper is complementary to and extends the functionality of the open-source Psycopg driver. The AWS Python Driver supports Python versions 3.8 and higher. You can install the `aws-advanced-python-wrapper` package using the `pip` command, along with the `psycopg` open-source packages.

For more information about the AWS Python Driver and complete instructions for using it, see the [Amazon Web Services (AWS) Python Driver GitHub repository](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-advanced-python-wrapper).
