Please notice that quote characters are not used to either side of the '='
operator even when both your aws access key id and secret key are strings.

For greater security, the secret key can be stored in a keyring and
retrieved via the keyring package. To use a keyring, use ``keyring``,
rather than ``aws_secret_access_key``::

[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = <your access key>
keyring = <keyring name>

To use a keyring, you must have the Python `keyring
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring>`_ package installed and in the
Python path. To learn about setting up keyrings, see the `keyring
documentation
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring#installing-and-using-python-keyring-lib>`_
