Python errors running s3cmd on Amazon AWS
Posted: May 14th, 2010 | Author: Laurie | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »Whenever I ran s3cmd on my AWS instance, I got the following errors:
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/S3/S3.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/S3/S3.py:10: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
The problem is that this is an old, crappy version of s3cmd, 0.9.8.4. You can get version 0.9.9 using the instructions in the linked blog post. It’s just a matter of adding a new source to your apt-get sources list and then running apt-get update.
