This is the long issue with tons of options on how to make it work:
Can't use bucket names with dots #2836 - https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/2836
This is what worked for me:
conn = boto.s3.connect_to_region(
boto.s3.connection.Location.USWest2,
aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
aws_secret_access_key=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET,
calling_format=boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat()
)
Have to use connect_to_region and pass in the region where you created your bucket and use the OrdinaryCallingFormat calling format. Otherwise I'd get the following errors:
Note that this is not possible to do using boto.connect_s3.
Without sending in the region:
Traceback (most recent call last):
