there is a brand new spanky boto3 support in duplicity 0.8.08 (use boto3+s3:// as schema). that is the current duplicity version. should still run with python2.7 although python3 is suggested .

So I created the file with the necessary line, and now when I call boto from a trivial test script, it responds to the config file, and all is well.   But it does NOT cure the problem running duplicity, where boto still dies with the ssl.CertificateError.

try setting env var BOTO_CONFIG as described here
