Amazon S3 Python and Django

Eloy Zuniga Jr. Core Programmer at Tendenci

Lessons learned while managing media via S3 using Boto and Django.

The Python S3 documentation is a bit thin. We expand on the documentation by covering a few more methods and properties.

We will also cover an easy way of connecting your Django project to S3 and how to use the default_storage package to work with your media.

These lessons were learned while working with Heroku. Heroku [PAAS] requires you to use a media server such as S3 when your media is not included in your repository.
