IndexError: list index out of range

[mani iyer]

hi this is my code am trying to download files from my S3 bucket

say name of the bucket is abc and i have a file under 123 under which
i have a lot of files. The directory structure is like

abc bucket
|
|---123
|
|
|-----file1
|----file2 and so on

The code that I have written is as follows

#!/usr/bin/python

import boto
from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection
access_key = 'xyz'
secret_key = 'asafd'
bucket_name = 'abc'
s3 = S3Connection(access_key, secret_key)

print "connection intiated..."

bucket = s3.get_bucket(bucket_name)

print "retrieving bucket"

inputsetName = '123'

for key in bucket.get_all_keys():

strs = key.name.split('/') #trying to access the directory
structure for the file I want using split function

if (strs[0] != inputsetName):
pass

key.get_contents_to_filename(strs[1])

print "process completed..."



This throws up an error saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "download.py", line 27, in <module>
key.get_contents_to_filename(strs[1])
IndexError: list index out of range

Any suggestions/comments?

thanks in advance

if key.name does not contain '/', then len(strs) will be 1, so strs[1] will be out of range.  

I think maybe you mean to use 'continue', not 'pass' in your conditional.  pass in python means do nothing, continue will run the next iteration of the current loop.

if you replaced that "pass" with a "continue", your code would work.
