This looks very cool. I've done a lot of EC2 API work recently and the little 1-2 cent charges everywhere are a bit annoying, as is waiting for instances to fire up before everything else executes.
Can this be the basis for a pure python fakes3? (https://github.com/jubos/fake-s3)
Great effort! Any reason this shouldn’t be the basis of Boto unit tests?
It's probably better to test Boto off the real APIs.
