Boto and Python on AWS

I am trying to get boto to work, but I am getting an error.

Installed boto via easy_install, or simply python ./setup.py install

cat boto.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto
conn = boto.connect_ec2()

3c075474c10b% ./boto.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./boto.py", line 2, in <module>
    import boto
  File "/Users/vasiliyb/scripts/boto.py", line 3, in <module>
    conn = boto.connect_ec2()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect_ec2'

Just change the name of your module from "boto.py" to "myboto.py" (or whatever you like) and it will magically work.

You are basically redefining "boto" by naming your module boto.py.
