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

On Mac, exporting keys need to look like this: key=value. So exporting, say, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID environmental var should look like this: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=yourkey. If you have any quotations around your values, as mentioned in above answers, boto will throw the above-mentioned error.
