I have not used s3cmd so all I can do is make some suggestions.

1) Retry the boto code to see if it was just a network issue.

2) Check to see if s3cmd created env variables that conflict with boto.

3) Uninstall s3cmd and see if the problem goes away.

it's possible that s3cmd installed a different version of boto too, if you do:

print boto.__file__ 

does it show the installation you made?
