Question

I have a bucket for my organization in Amazon S3 which looks like mydev.orgname

• I have a Java application that can connect to Amazon S3 with the credentials and can connect to S3, create, read files

• I have a requirement where a application reads the data from Python from same bucket. So I am using boto for this.

I do the following in oder to get the bucket

>>> import boto
>>> from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection
>>> from boto.s3.key import Key
>>> 
>>> conn = S3Connection('xxxxxxxxxxx', 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy')
>>> conn
S3Connection:s3.amazonaws.com

Now when I try to get bucket I see error

>>> b = conn.get_bucket('mydev.myorg')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/boto/s3/connection.py", line 389, in get_bucket
    bucket.get_all_keys(headers, maxkeys=0)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/boto/s3/bucket.py", line 367, in get_all_keys
    '', headers, **params)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/boto/s3/bucket.py", line 334, in _get_all
    response.status, response.reason, body)

But from the Java application everything seems to work.

Am I doing anything wrong here?

After giving my “User” much stronger role, this error was gone. Means User given the permission to get_bucket
