Listing S3 Top level folders

using simple Python code.

Some time back I had to export list of top level folders in a S3 bucket.
I used python and boto to do this task.
I think following code is self explanatory.

from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection

# Following 3/4 lines need to be changed to make this work.
aws_key = 'SET AWS KEY here'
aws_secret = 'SET AWS SECRET here'
bucket_name = 'SET BUCKET name'
output_file = 'folders.txt'

conn = S3Connection(aws_key, aws_secret)
bucket  = conn.get_bucket(bucket_name)
folders = bucket.list("","/")
count = 0
with open(output_file, 'w') as outfile:
    for folder in folders:
        count += 1
        outfile.write(folder.name[:-1] + '\n')
        print '.',

print('\n\n Completed. Total folders: ' + count)

Above program does two things,

• Prints ... on system output to show progress and at the end prints count of folders in the given bucket_name.
• Write folder names to the output_file separated by \n.

Apparently this is an icebreaking post for me to start blogging again.
Just started with simple one, more to follow.
