    make test

If all test passed, you have an environment ready to start. We recommend to use python-virtualevn (virtualenv and virtualenv-wrapper)

Features

tc_aws.loaders.s3_loader - takes a S3 key path and optional bucket name, and downloads the file through the S3 API.
tc_aws.loaders.presigning_loader - instead of downloading via the API, generates a signed link to the file on S3, then feeds it to the Thumbor's regular http loader. This will likely be more performant, as it avoids async issues with the boto library (see #22 and #14.
tc_aws.result_storages.s3_storage
tc_aws.storages.s3_storage

What is the purpose of the S3 loader?

You might ask yourself why the S3 loaders are necessary? Aren't files on S3 already available through HTTP already? Why wouldn't you just give the S3 url of your file to Thumbor and let it query the file through HTTP?

If your S3 assets are not public, you'll need to generate a signed URL. This url will be different everytime you sign it. Thumbor will be unable to understand that these urls all refer to the same file, and thus won be able to cache it.

The S3 loader avoids this problem, since you'll only be including the S3 key name in the Thumbor url. Thumbor itself will have the AWS authorization keys to fetch the file.

Additional Configuration values used:

Loader settings

When using either tc_aws.loaders.s3_loader or tc_aws.loaders.presigning_loader.

TC_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET='' # S3 bucket for Storage
TC_AWS_STORAGE_ROOT_PATH='' # S3 path prefix for Storage bucket

# S3 bucket for Loader. If given, source urls are interpreted as keys
# within this bucket. If not given, source urls are expected to contain
# the bucket name, such as 's3-bucket/keypath'.
TC_AWS_LOADER_BUCKET='' 

# S3 path prefix for Loader bucket. If given, this is prefixed to 
# all S3 keys.
TC_AWS_LOADER_ROOT_PATH=''

# Enable HTTP Loader as well?
# This would allow you to load watermarks in over your images dynamically through a URI
# E.g.
# http://your-thumbor.com/unsafe/filters:watermark(http://example.com/watermark.png,0,0,50)/s3_bucket/photo.jpg
TC_AWS_ENABLE_HTTP_LOADER=False

TC_AWS_ALLOWED_BUCKETS=False # List of allowed bucket to be requested
