"The problem turned out to be a bug in AWS official Python SDK, boto." My only experience of using boto was not good. Between point versions they would move the API all over the place, and being amazon some requests take ages to complete. After that worked with google APIs which were a better, but still not what I'd describe as fantastic (hopefully things are better over last 2 years).
