ssl.CertificateError aka Can't use bucket names with dots

[benbuckman]

This library seems to be affected by this bug: boto/boto#2836

ssl.CertificateError: hostname 'my.bucket.s3.amazonaws.com' doesn't match either of '*.s3.amazonaws.com', 's3.amazonaws.com'

I'm not very familiar with Python or Boto, and haven't yet figured out how to work around this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have experienced the same, but haven't had a chance to look into it. For now, I am using the workaround mentioned in boto/boto#2836, that is by (on Linux or OS X) creating a file ~/.boto with contents

calling_format = boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat
