A simple Python application illustrating usage of the AWS SDK for Python (also referred to as Boto).
This sample project depends on Boto, the AWS SDK for Python, and requires Python 2.6 or 2.7. You can install Boto using pip:
pip install boto
You need to set up your AWS security credentials before the sample code is able to connect to AWS. You can do this by creating a file named "credentials" at ~/.aws/ (C:\Users\USER_NAME.aws\ for Windows users) and saving the following lines in the file:
[default]
aws_access_key_id = <your access key id>
aws_secret_access_key = <your secret key>
See the Security Credentials page for more information on getting your keys. It's also possible to configure your credentials via other configuration files. See the Boto Config documentation for more information.
This sample application connects to Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3), creates a bucket, and uploads a file to that bucket. The script will generate a bucket name and file for you. All you need to do is run the code:
python s3_sample.py
The S3 documentation has a good overview of the restrictions for bucket names for when you start making your own buckets.
