+In order for boto to access an s3 resource it must be able to get the
+access key and secret key for an s3 account.  The 3 ways that boto can
+obtain the keys are in the following order of precedence.
+
+1) Credentials passed into Connection class constructor
+2) Credentials specified by environment variables
+3) Credentials specified as options in a config file
+
+The easiest way for boto to read proper s3 credentials are from a
+global config file in /etc/boto.cfg or on a user basis in
+~/.boto.
+
+An example config file looks like the following:
+
+[Credentials]
+aws_access_key_id = <your access key>
+aws_secret_access_key = <your secret key>
+
+[Boto]
