Create AWS Account with Python using Organizations

create-account.py

import time
import boto3
import pprint

# setup pprint
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=1)

# define the connection

client = boto3.client('organizations')

# If you're using Python 3 change the below raw_input to input
NewAccountEmail = raw_input('Enter a unique Email Address for the new AWS account: ')
NewAccountName = raw_input('Enter the Name for the new AWS account: ')
NewAccountRole = raw_input('Enter the Name for Administrative Role the new AWS account: ')

response = client.create_account(
    Email=NewAccountEmail,
    AccountName=NewAccountName,
    RoleName=NewAccountRole,
    IamUserAccessToBilling='ALLOW'
)

CreateAccountStatus = str(response['CreateAccountStatus']['Id'])

pp.pprint('Checking Create Account Request Id: ' + CreateAccountStatus)

time.sleep(10)   # delays for 10 seconds because the organizations client doesn't have a waiter

response = client.describe_create_account_status(
    CreateAccountRequestId=CreateAccountStatus
)

NewAccountID = str(response['CreateAccountStatus']['AccountId'])

pp.pprint('New Account Id: ' + NewAccountID)
pp.pprint('New Account Name: ' + NewAccountName)

just an update, you can create custom waiter
