why boto not find config the file (Credentials) - python-2.7

Question

i Created new config file:
$ sudo vi ~/.boto
there i paste my credentials (as written in readthedocs for botp):
[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = YOURACCESSKEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOURSECRETKEY
im trying to check connection:
import boto
boto.set_stream_logger('boto')
s3 = boto.connect_s3("us-east-1")
and my answer:
2014-11-26 14:05:49,532 boto [DEBUG]:Using access key provided by client.
2014-11-26 14:05:49,532 boto [DEBUG]:Retrieving credentials from metadata server.

boto.exception.NoAuthHandlerFound: No handler was ready to authenticate. 1 handlers were checked. ['HmacAuthV1Handler'] Check your credentials
why its not found the Credentials?
there is something that i did wrong?

Answer 1

Your issue is:
The string 'us-west-1' you provide as the first argument will be treat as the AWSAccessKeyID.
What you want is:
First creating a connection, note that a connection has no region or location info in it.
conn = boto.connect_s3('your_access_key', 'your_secret_key')
And then when you want to do some thing with the bucket, write the region info as an argument.
from boto.s3.connection import Location
conn.create_bucket('mybucket', location=Location.USWest)
or:
conn.create_bucket('mybucket', location='us-west-1')
By default, the location is the empty string which is interpreted as the US Classic Region, the original S3 region. However, by specifying another location at the time the bucket is created, you can instruct S3 to create the bucket in that location.
