How can I copy files bigger than 5 GB in Amazon S3?

Question

Amazon S3 REST API documentation says there\'s a size limit of 5gb for upload in a PUT operation. Files bigger than that have to be uploaded using multipart. Fine.

The above was very close to working, unfortunately should have ended with mp.complete_upload() instead of the typo upload_complete()!

I've added a working boto s3 multipart copy script here, based of the AWS Java example and tested with files over 5 GiB:
