How do you update an MTurk worker qualification score with boto3?

The older MTurk API (and boto2) had an UpdateQualificationScore method that would allow users to update the score of a specific worker, but this seems to have disappeared in the latest version(s) based on boto3.

The latest MTurk API has a GetQualificationScore method (which actually returns a full worker qualification record, not just the score), but no corresponding UpdateQualificationScore method. What is the mechanism to update a score for an existing worker?

ex-nerd's answer is correct. Building off the Python sample available at http://requester.mturk.com/developer, the following works to assign a QualificationType then change the score for that Worker:

import boto3

region_name = 'us-east-1'
aws_access_key_id = 'YOUR_ACCESS_ID'
aws_secret_access_key = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'

endpoint_url = 'https://mturk-requester-sandbox.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'

# Uncomment this line to use in production
# endpoint_url = 'https://mturk-requester.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'

client = boto3.client(
    'mturk',
    endpoint_url=endpoint_url,
    region_name=region_name,
    aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key_id,
    aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key,
)

# This will assign the QualificationType
client.associate_qualification_with_worker(QualificationTypeId = '3KIOU9ULHKIIS5OPUVORW7OE1070V0', WorkerId = 'A39ECJ12CY7TE9', IntegerValue = 100)

# This will set the QualificationScore from 100 to 90
client.associate_qualification_with_worker(QualificationTypeId = '3KIOU9ULHKIIS5OPUVORW7OE1070V0', WorkerId = 'A39ECJ12CY7TE9', IntegerValue = 90)

As best as I can tell, the proper way to do this with the boto3 is to use the AssociateQualificationWithWorker endpoint:

session = boto3.Session(profile_name='mturk')
client = session.client('mturk')
response = client.associate_qualification_with_worker(
    QualificationTypeId=qualification_type_id,
    WorkerId=worker_id,
    IntegerValue=score,
    SendNotification=False,
)

This seems to work, especially when taken alongside GetQualificationScore returning the "full" qualification record instead of just the score.
