two separate problems: one, getting started with boto and two, setting environment path (Windows 10, Python 2.7)

[Lauren Staples]

Hi All!

I am new to boto!  I am working in a Windows 10 environment with Python 2.7.

It looks like I've installed it correctly, see?

C:\Python27>pip install boto
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): boto in c:\python27

C:\Python27>pip install boto --upgrade
Requirement already up-to-date: boto in c:\python27

I am trying to follow AWS instructions and get this error:

C:\Python27>import boto
'import' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

So then, I tried to do some other random things:

C:\Python27>pip import boto
ERROR: unknown command "import"

C:\Python27>python import boto
python: can't open file 'import': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

C:\Python27>python boto
C:\Python27\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'boto'

Lastly, I made one of those configuration files with my AWS credentials and am having trouble setting the path.  I used a text file and stored it in the user directory following the correct format....

C:\Python27>set boto_config
Environment variable boto_config not defined

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Lauren
