Is an implementation of Django integration with Amazon AWS services through boto module.

To install:

easy_install django-boto

or:

pip install django-boto

Can't be used as default file storage system because of path not implemented but you still can pass S3Storage object as storage option to a FileField:

from django.db import models
from django_boto.s3.storage import S3Storage

s3 = S3Storage()

class Car(models.Model):
    ...
    photo = models.ImageField(storage=s3)

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID (required for default file storage use) Access Key ID from Security Credentials settings on AWS service. Required for using as default storage.

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY (required for default file storage use) Secret Access Key from Security Credentials settings on AWS service. Required for using as default storage.

AWS_ACL_POLICY Default canned ACL for objects saved. Defaults to public-read.

BOTO_S3_BUCKET Amazon S3 bucket name. Default set to AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID.

BOTO_S3_HOST Amazon S3 hostname. Default to s3.amazonaws.com.

BOTO_BUCKET_LOCATION Amazon datacenter location. Default to US Classic Region.

AWS_S3_FORCE_HTTP_URL Default to False. This settings allow you forcing S3 to return http links to files (if you have problem with SSL).

If you need to use it manually - you can pass bucket_name (as BOTO_S3_BUCKET), key (as AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID), secret (as AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) and location (as BOTO_BUCKET_LOCATION) directly to storage constructor:

from django_boto.s3.storage import S3Storage

s3 = S3Storage(bucket_name='another-bucket', key='another-key',
    secret='another-secret', location='EU')

S3Storage is a typical Django storage system, only path is not implemented and created_time and accessed_time return same value as modified_time.

You can use a shortcut for simple uploads:

from django_boto.s3 import upload

upload(filename, name=None, prefix=False, bucket_name=False, key=None,
       secret=None, host=None, expires=0, query_auth=False, force_http=True,
       policy=None)

where:

filename: string filesystem path to file or django File instance or python file object instance;

name: string target Django's name for uploading the file;

prefix: string path prefix to filename in s3.amazonaws.com url. Like filename /images/image.jpg with avatars prefix convert to avatars/image.jpg in amazon url;

bucket_name: name of bucket (if not exists - system try to create it) in amazon S3;

key: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID replacement;

secret: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY replacement.

host: BOTO_S3_HOST replacement.

expires: int How long should private links be valid for.

query_auth: bool Should the url be generated with a valid signature? Required for private files.

force_http: bool Should the generated url be http?

policy: string Canned acl string for uploaded objects.

Last nine options are optional. If not set - it's taken from the settings.py or defaults are used.

upload() returns a generated URL for a file download.
