Annyeong-haseyo Shai:

Didn't realize that you were talking about S3 compatibility as well as EC2 compatibility :)

AFAIK, The object store (OpenStack Swift) supports the OpenStack API natively (which boto does not support) but also supports the much of the S3 protocol (which boto does support) via WSGI middleware options. From the trunk/swift/common/middleware/swift3.py file:

You'll need to include the Swift3 middleware into your WSGI pipeline (it's a configuration option in the /etc/proxy-server.conf file).
