| The goal of boto is to support the full breadth and depth of Amazon |
| Web Services. In addition, boto provides support for other public |
| services such as Google Storage in addition to private cloud systems |
| like Eucalyptus, OpenStack and Open Nebula. |
| |
| Boto is developed mainly using Python 2.6.6 and Python 2.7.1 on Mac OSX |
| and Ubuntu Maverick. It is known to work on other Linux distributions |
| and on Windows. Boto requires no additional libraries or packages |
| other than those that are distributed with Python. Efforts are made |
| to keep boto compatible with Python 2.5.x but no guarantees are made. |

| 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 |
| |
| Credentials and other boto-related settings can also be stored in a |
| boto config file. See `this`_ for details. |
