creating bucket error on AWS using python

Question

I want to create a bucket to upload some wav files in it. I am able to create a bucket manually with location required, but when I am trying to program in python to create a bucket with us-west-2 location

session = boto3.Session(aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key)
s3 = session.resource('s3')

s3.create_bucket(Bucket='test-asterisk1', CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': 'eu-central-1'})

I got the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "create_bucket.py", line 10, in <module>
  s3.create_bucket(Bucket='asterisk1', CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': 'ap-south-1'})
  File "/home/dileep/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/boto3/resources/factory.py", line 520, in do_action
response = action(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/home/dileep/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/boto3/resources/action.py", line 83, in __call__ response = getattr(parent.meta.client, operation_name)(**params)

raise error_class(parsed_response, operation_name)

botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (IllegalLocationConstraintException) when calling the CreateBucket operation: The ap-south-1 location constraint is incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent to.

I am on indian IP trying to create a 'us-west-2' end point is that creating a problem?

so I tried changing location constrain one by one time each

"LocationConstraint": "EU"|"eu-west-1"|"us-west-1"|"us-west-2"|"ap-south-1"|"ap-southeast-1"|"ap-southeast-2"|"ap-northeast-1"|"sa-east-1"|"cn-north-1"|"eu-central-1"

but whatever location I try it gives me the same error.

so I tried creating with boto instead of boto3

import boto
from boto.s3.connection import Location
s3 = boto.connect_s3(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key)
s3.create_bucket('test-asterisk1', location=Location.USWest2)

it throws error

File "s2t_amazon.py", line 27, in <module>
s3.create_bucket('test-asterisk2', location=Location.USWest2)
File "/home/dileep/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/boto/s3/connection.py", line 623, in create_bucket
response.status, response.reason, body)
boto.exception.S3CreateError: S3CreateError: 409 Conflict

I have checked if the bucket is created, and it is not created by anyone of the methods. Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

Please try after adding region_name='eu-central-1' when calling boto3.Session(). — jarmod

This works:

import boto3

s3_client = boto3.client('s3', region_name = 'eu-central-1')

s3_client.create_bucket(Bucket='my-bucket', CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': 'eu-central-1'})

The import thing to realise is that the command must be sent to the region where the bucket is being created. Thus, you'll need to specify the region when creating the client and also when creating the bucket.
