I am beginner in Boto3 and working on AWS developer certification. I am trying to create a S3 bucket in my account. Below is my code
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto3
from boto3.session import Session
session = Session(aws_access_key_id='asd',aws_secret_access_key='asdas')
s3 = session.resource('s3')
s3.create_bucket(Bucket='myfbucket789076541253334')
region_name='ap-south-1' Then I tried a bunch of others from this link but did not help https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html
My code looks like this now
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto3
from boto3.session import Session
session = Session(aws_access_key_id='xyz',aws_secret_access_key='+af',region_name='eu-west-1')
s3 = session.resource('s3')
s3.create_bucket(Bucket='myfbucket789076541253334')
I get the below error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "S3_bucket.py", line 6, in <module>

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
From https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/create-bucket.html
Regions outside of us-east-1 require the appropriate LocationConstraint to be specified in order to create the bucket in the desired region
I believe you need to specify the location constraint when you create bucket. Here's a snippet from http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/s3.html
response = client.create_bucket(
...
CreateBucketConfiguration={
'LocationConstraint': 'eu-west-1'
},
...
)
