Why does the script need to be in Python? Isn't Fake S3 just a server that you run and connect to from any codebase? I'm curious because Python is the language I use most, but I could easily see myself writing a Fake S3 in golang or clojure or even C.

i don't know golang or clojure or c and this is a selfish-borne request that i figured would be worth making because of global benefits.

I don't have anything against the request, and I would actually be interested in writing a Python version. I was just curious what the motivation and goals would be.

Yep yep, the motivation is just to give back to the community, and simultaneously reward me for the stimulus initiative

I think I'm not being explicit enough. What would you use a Python version for, for which the Ruby Fake S3 implementation isn't suitable? I'm purely looking for a sample use case here. What problem does a Python Fake S3 solve?

some people aren't comfortable with ruby
