I think the following should work, and be simpler than Mandx’s method, although it’s very similar:
Create a s3utils.py
file:
from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage
StaticRootS3BotoStorage = lambda: S3BotoStorage(location='static')
MediaRootS3BotoStorage = lambda: S3BotoStorage(location='media')
Then in your settings.py
:
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'myproject.s3utils.MediaRootS3BotoStorage'
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'myproject.s3utils.StaticRootS3BotoStorage'
A different but related example (that I’ve actually tested) can be seen in the two example_
files here.
