boto3 / s3 - how can you connect with uid/pwd in like you could previously ?

I have some code which I want to port to boto3.

Previously it was possible to do this :

conn = boto.connect_s3(sys.argv[1], sys.argv2)


In the current documentation it's assumed that you have a config file setup with the uid/pwd in it or that you use environment variables and so there is no explicit passing of the uid/pwd when initiating a connection.

Is it now impossible to to just pass in the values as per my example or is there some way I've missed in the documentation ?

Thanks

When writing AWS Python code, the SDK can automatically find your AWS credentials. If you have setup the AWS CLI, then the credentials are stored in ~/.aws/credentials.

In your code, the first two parameters are aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key. This stays the same when moving from boto to boto3.

Compare the following code. The first is for boto (your example) and the second is for boto3.

BOTO Example:

import boto
conn = boto.connect_s3(
aws_access_key_id='<aws access key>',
aws_secret_access_key='<aws secret key>')

for bucket in conn.get_all_buckets():
print(bucket.name)


BOTO3 Example:

import boto3
client = boto3.client(
's3',
aws_access_key_id='<aws access key>',
aws_secret_access_key='<aws secret key>')

response = client.list_buckets()

for bucket in response['Buckets']]
print(bucket['Name'])
