[docs]def save_features(features, location=None, profile_name=None): """Saves the features list as JSON to a specified filepath/S3 path, writes to an open file, or returns the serialized features as a JSON string. If no file provided, returns a string. Args: features (list[:class:`.FeatureBase`]): List of Feature definitions. location (str or :class:`.FileObject`, optional): The location of where to save the features list which must include the name of the file, or a writeable file handle to write to. If location is None, will return a JSON string of the serialized features. Default: None profile_name (str, bool): The AWS profile specified to write to S3. Will default to None and search for AWS credentials. Set to False to use an anonymous profile. Note: Features saved in one version of Featuretools are not guaranteed to work in another. After upgrading Featuretools, features may need to be generated again.
