pysssix

Mount S3 as a POSIX like file system. Access is read only and assumes data on S3 is static.

Set up AWS credentials as per http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/configuration.html using a method that doesn't require accessing the boto Session or boto.client object/methods.

pysssix <mount_point> [--debug]

<mount_point> should be a existing empty directory.

Requires libfuse to be installed on the system.

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev

Work in progress use at own risk :)
