Amazon S3 IAM User Notes

Setting up S3-bucket-specific IAM users for new sites

This provides a new site with a unique IAM access key/secret that allows read/write access to a single S3 bucket, e.g. to allow a Django site to upload media files. This assumes the bucket itself has already been created.

Note: I originally created this gist as a note-to-self so conventions shown here are particular to my setup; YMMV.

  1. Log in to the AWS Console and head to the IAM section
  2. Click Users to access the IAM user list
  3. Click Add User
  4. Enter username in the format of sitename-s3 (replacing sitename)

Extract frames from an animated GIF, correctly handling palettes and frame update modes

I searched high and low for solutions to the "extract animated GIF frames in Python"
problem, and after much trial and error came up with the following solution based
on several partial examples around the web (mostly Stack Overflow).
There are two pitfalls that aren't often mentioned when dealing with animated GIFs -

Installing a custom version of Python on Dreamhost

Dreamhost supplies a fairly old version of Python in their shared hosting environments. It recently became necessary for me to use a newer version, and since this involved a bit of juggling, and since I’m also likely to forget how I did it, I thought I’d detail the steps here. These instructions should work with any Dreamhost shared hosting user, but follow them at your own risk.

The end result of this process is being able to run a current version of Python from your shared hosting user’s shell. It requires compiling, installing and running Python from your home directory rather than the system bin directories.

1. Create a helpful working directory
I chose to install all Python-related stuff in a python/ directory under my user’s home directory.

$ mkdir ~/python
$ cd ~/python
