sysutils/duplicity could use amazon web services. Blurb: Boto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web Services. At the moment, boto supports S3 (Simple Storage Service) and SQS (Simple Queue Service) via the REST API's provided by those services and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) via the Query API. The intent is to support additional services in the future. The goal of boto is to provide a very simple, easy to use, lightweight wrapper around the Amazon services. Not all features supported by the Amazon Web Services will be supported in boto. Basically, those features I need to do what I want to do are supported first. Other features and requests are welcome and will be accomodated to the best of my ability. Patches and contributions are welcome! Boto was written using Python 2.4.1 on Mac OSX. It has also been tested on Linux Fedora Core 4 using Python 2.4.1. Boto requires no additional libraries or packages other than those that are distributed with Python 2.4.1. NOTE: A patch was supplied recently by josh.bressers that should allow boto to run in Python 2.3. I have not tested this myself. [NOTE: I did not mark 23 as an acceptable python version] There is some documentation for boto, mainly in the form of tutorials. Check in the doc directory of the distribution. You can also check out the unit tests in the tests directory of the distribution for examples of use. You AWS credentials can be passed into the methods that create S3 and SQS connections. Alternatively, boto will check for the existance of the following environment variables to ascertain your credentials: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Your AWS Access Key ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Your AWS Secret Access Key
