Redshift create table not working via Python

Question

As per Unload to S3 with Python using IAM Role credentials, the unload statement worked perfectly. So did other commands I tried, like copy and select statements.

Apparently need to add s.commit() in order to create the table.. If you are populating it via copy command or insert into: then add it after the copy command (after the create table is optional). Basically, it does not auto commit for create/alter commands!
