multiple credentials in .boto file - how to use them?

[Tid]

Hi Folks, 

I have a few different AWS EC2 accounts and have the following setup : 

.boto : 

===================================

 [fred]

aws_access_key_id = xxxx

aws_secret_access_key = xxxx

[bill]

aws_access_key_id= yyy

aws_secret_access_key = yyyyy

[eric]

aws_access_key_id=zzz

aws_secret_access_key = zzz

====================================

if I have a single stanza [Credentials], the following code connects fine, but how do I connect using individual credentials? 

===========================================

rr = [ boto.ec2.get_region('eu-west-1') for x in regions ]

for reg in rr:

  conn = reg.connect()

  reservations = conn.get_all_instances()

  for r in reservations:

    for i in r.instances:

      print i

===========================================

do I use some variant of 

  reg.connect([eric])

?

cheers, 

Tid

reg.connect(profile_name="eric")

Assuming you are using boto >= 2.24.

Sorted now. PBKAC. The .boto file should be of the form: 

==================================================================

# me

[profile tid]

aws_access_key_id = xxx

aws_secret_access_key = yyy

# test env

[profile test]

aws_access_key_id=yyy

aws_secret_access_key = zzz

===================================================================

(i.e you need the word 'profile' at the start of each profile stanza. Doh! )
