took out asserts

[wgiddens]

When running on EC2 the AWS_* variables are set implicitly by IAM. They aren't required.

Hi @wgiddens

I wan to know more about the AWS_* variables are set implicitly by IAM stuff, could you provide me where the documents is?

I think the asserts should stay, but add some workaround to work on both situation.

You can check the boto3 docs here:
http://boto3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/guide/configuration.html#iam-role

You can set up authentication a variety of ways besides the django settings file, but they recommend letting IAM set it for you.

django-storages catches any errors and raises ImproperlyConfigured. Perhaps that is a solution?

@wgiddens Thanks for this information, I'll figure it out and modify for compatibility.
