Re: [boto-users] Caching of credentials???

[Mitchell Garnaat]

Hi -

After you change the .boto file, are you starting up a new Python interpreter?  Or using the same one?  The boto config file is read once when the boto module is first imported and is cached in memory during that session.  I won't pick up changes made to the file after that.  You would have to start a new session to get the changes.

I am new to using boto, and am noticing some strange behavior with credentials. I am trying to connect to two different AWS accounts from the same laptop. I was able to connect to account #1 just fine and run some commands. I then proceeded to replace the ~/.boto file with the credentials from account #2. When I go and run a command to get all the instances, I am getting them from account #1. I even took steps to remove the ~/.boto from the file system and still getting the same results and not getting any errors for authentication.

I am somewhat new to Python, so this could be something within the Python interpreter. Just as an FYI, I am on a Mac running Python 2.7.2 with boto 2.8.0 that was installed using 'pip install boto'.
