I am trying to get boto to work, but I am getting an error.
Installed boto via easy_install, or simply python ./setup.py install
cat boto.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto
conn = boto.connect_ec2()
3c075474c10b% ./boto.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./boto.py", line 2, in <module>
import boto
File "/Users/vasiliyb/scripts/boto.py", line 3, in <module>
conn = boto.connect_ec2()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect_ec2'
Just change the name of your module from “boto.py” to “myboto.py” (or whatever you like) and it will magically work.
You are basically redefining “boto” by naming your module boto.py.
