Unable to create a bucket in s3

I am trying to create a bucket in my s3 with USEast1 as location. 

from boto.s3.connection import Location

mybucket = 'test-voip1'
conn = boto.connect_s3(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key)
if conn.lookup(mybucket) is None:
     conn.create_bucket(mybucket, location=Location.USEast1)
     # conn.create_bucket(mybucket)

When I try to run it gives me an attribute error

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "s2t_amazon.py", line 146, in <module>
        conn.create_bucket(mybucket, location=Location.USEast1)
AttributeError: type object 'Location' has no attribute 'USEast1'

I am able to connect to create the connection, and I am able to create a bucket with USWest as location. While installing boto I didn't get any error but why I am getting this error?

Even I tried with boto3, 

session = boto3.Session(aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key)
s3 = session.resource('s3')
s3.create_bucket(Bucket='mybucket', CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': 'us-east-1'})

I get similar error

 botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (InvalidLocationConstraint) when calling the CreateBucket operation: The specified location-constraint is not valid

how to resolve the error?

when I try to check the location of other previously created buckets in my s3 

bucket = conn.get_bucket('ml-vectors')
bucket.get_location()
>> ''

it gives empty, I am unable to check how the other buckets are created in my s3 which created by others.

The error that you are getting can be understood once you look into the definition of the Location class in the AWS connection.py:

class Location(object):

DEFAULT = ''  # US Classic Region
EU = 'EU'  # Ireland
EUCentral1 = 'eu-central-1'  # Frankfurt
USWest = 'us-west-1'
USWest2 = 'us-west-2'
SAEast = 'sa-east-1'
APNortheast = 'ap-northeast-1'
APSoutheast = 'ap-southeast-1'
APSoutheast2 = 'ap-southeast-2'
CNNorth1 = 'cn-north-1'

As you can see there is no USEast1. The solution to this problem can be found in the quote below:

As per http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTBucketPUT.html: "If you are creating a bucket on the US East (N. Virginia) region (us-east-1), you do not need to specify the location constraint". Other regions work fine. I can take this up.

You can find the full discussion on: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/16978
