Because of Glacier Deep's expensive support for small objects, I am writing an archiver. It would be most helpful to me to be able to ask boto3 to give me a list of objects in the bucket which are not already in the desired storage class. Thanks to this answer, I know I can do this in a shell:
aws s3api list-objects --bucket $BUCKETNAME --query 'Contents[?StorageClass!=`DEEP_ARCHIVE`]'
Is there a way to pass that query parameter into boto3? I haven't dug into the source yet, but I thought it was essentially a wrapper on the command line tools- but I can't find docs or examples anywhere using this technique.

Sadly, you can't do this, as --query option is specific to AWS CLI. But boto3 is Python AWS SDK, so you very easily post-process its outputs to obtain the same results as from CLI.
The --query option is based on jmespath. So if you really want to use jmespath in your python, you can use jmespath package .
