Usage

Basic usage:

from s3file import s3open

f = s3open("http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/myfile.txt")
f.write("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...")
f.close()

S3 authentication key and secret may be passed into the s3open method or stored in the boto config file.:

f = s3open("http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/myfile.txt", key, secret)

Other parameters to s3open include:

expiration_days

Sets the number of days that the remote file should be cached by clients. Default is 0, not cached.

private

If True, sets the file to be private. Defaults to False, publicly readable.

content_type

The content_type of the file will be guessed from the URL, but you can explicitly set it by passing a content_type value.
