The Amazon S3 BitBucket

I’ve been pretty pleased with the Amazon S3 service thus far. I did go with a python script that uses a very useful library from Mitch Garnaat called BitBucket. I’ve uploaded a version of the script, sans the encryption routine. Perhaps someone will find it useful and extend it a bit. My version is actually similar to the sample script provided, but here it is anyways.


One thing to note: i find it useful to use Debug: 1 in the bitbucket.cfg file. That shows me what was ’skipped’ or ‘added’ between runs.

Update: bitbucket was replaced with boto, a Python interface to Amazon Web Services.
