AWS Simple Email Service - Need code to use boto3 with IAM Profile

I want to access Amazon’s SES(Simple Email Service) using the boto3 library and a user profile. The code I want to execute is listed below which does not work. It gives me an error “botocore.exceptions.NoCredentialsError: Unable to locate credentials”, I am currently able to access S3 services with no issue so I know my profile is setup correctly, but I cannot find code to access the SES service using a profile. I need some pointers how to get the code to work.

SES code that NOT work

import boto3

session = boto3.session.Session(profile_name='myprofile')
client = boto3.client('ses','us-east-1')
response = client.list_verified_email_addresses()

S3 code which currently works with a profile

import boto3

session = boto3.session.Session(profile_name='myprofile')
s3 = session.resource('s3')

In your SES code, you are not using the session that you created with your profile. But in S3 code, you use the session. When you call boto3.client(), it knows nothing about your profile. Try this:

session = boto3.Session(profile_name='myprofile')
client = session.client('ses','us-east-1')
response = client.list_verified_email_addresses()
