        Introduction
        ************
        
        Boto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web Services.
        At the moment, boto supports:
        
        * Simple Storage Service (S3)
        * SimpleQueue Service (SQS)
        * Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
        * Mechanical Turk
        * SimpleDB
        * CloudFront
        * CloudWatch
        * AutoScale
        * Elastic Load Balancer (ELB)
        * Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
        * Elastic Map Reduce (EMR)
        * Relational Data Service (RDS)
        * Simple Notification Server (SNS)
        * Google Storage
        * Identity and Access Management (IAM)
        * Route53 DNS Service (route53)
        * Simple Email Service (SES)
        * Flexible Payment Service (FPS)
        * CloudFormation
        * Amazon DynamoDB
        * Amazon SimpleWorkflow
        * CloudSearch
        * Marketplace Web Services
        
        The goal of boto is to support the full breadth and depth of Amazon
        Web Services.  In addition, boto provides support for other public
        services such as Google Storage in addition to private cloud systems
        like Eucalyptus, OpenStack and Open Nebula.
        
        Boto is developed mainly using Python 2.6.6 and Python 2.7.1 on Mac OSX
        and Ubuntu Maverick.  It is known to work on other Linux distributions
        and on Windows.  Boto requires no additional libraries or packages
        other than those that are distributed with Python.  Efforts are made
        to keep boto compatible with Python 2.5.x but no guarantees are made.
        
        *********************************
        Special Note for Python 3.x Users
        *********************************
        
        If you are interested in trying out boto with Python 3.x, check out the
        `neo`_ branch.  This is under active development and the goal is a version
        of boto that works in Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x.  Not everything is working
        just yet but many things are and it's worth a look if you are an active
        Python 3.x user.
        
        ***************************
        Finding Out More About Boto
        ***************************
        
        The main source code repository for boto can be found on `github.com`_.
        The boto project uses the `gitflow`_ model for branching.
        
        `Online documentation`_ is also available. The online documentation includes
        full API documentation as well as Getting Started Guides for many of the boto
        modules.
        
        Boto releases can be found on the `Python Cheese Shop`_.

        Your credentials can be passed into the methods that create
        connections.  Alternatively, boto will check for the existance of the
        following environment variables to ascertain your credentials:
        
        **AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID** - Your AWS Access Key ID
        
        **AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY** - Your AWS Secret Access Key
        
        Credentials and other boto-related settings can also be stored in a
        boto config file.  See `this`_ for details.
