Comment (by wkornewald):
After having compared Amazon's S3 library and boto's S3 module I have to
say that neither of them is really great. Amazon can't stream, but unlike
boto it supports EU buckets and virtual hosts. Also, boto has a lot of
redundant code and adding EU bucket support (in a clean way) would require
quite a few refactorings.
Do you want the backend to make the browser upload via PUSH, so files
don't have to be routed through the server (which would consume a lot of
resources)? In that case, Amazon's library wins because boto's streaming
support wouldn't be used. The best solution would of course be to merge
boto with Amazon's library.
