Why are no Amazon S3 authentication handlers ready?

Question

I have my $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables set properly, and I run this code:

import boto
conn = boto.connect_s3()
         


        

Answer 1

You can now set these as arguments in the connect function call.

s3 = boto.connect_s3(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)

Just thought I'd add that incase anyone else searched like I did.
