django-storages S3 Backend Won't Load

Question

I have a Django app that runs just fine on my localhost as well as on my Linode Ubuntu server. I am running ``` django==1.4.2 django-storages==1.1.6 boto==2.8.0 Python==2.7.2+ ``` From the Django shell on my localhost, I type: from S3 import CallingFormat It works just fine. However, when I type that into the Django shell on the server, I get No module named S3 Am I missing something? Thank you in advance for any help you guys can offer.

Accepted Answer

Looks like setup.py doesn't install S3 module in `PYTHONPATH`. This can be easily fixed by downloading S3 module anywhere in your `PYTHONPATH` (type `import sys;print sys.path` to find these folders):

```
sudo curl -O https://bitbucket.org/dziegler/django-storages/raw/9a3017a4f577a7d740451c1a6dde9079c69f09b6/S3.py 
```
