Question

I'm facing issue while export CSV from pandas datafram to S3, getting below error:

The config profile (default) could not be found: ProfileNotFound botocore.exceptions.ProfileNotFound: The config profile (default) could not be found

Below aws cli setup in my local: config : [default] region = us-west-1

credentials : [default] aws_secret_access_key = aws_access_key_id =

Please help, thanks in advance

Answer 1

I had the same problem (for another application) and the only way I found to “fix” it was to create a new profile in my ~/.aws/config file.

[profile mynewprofile]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXX

Then I modificated the script calling my default profile to mynewprofile.

Answer 2

This probably won't apply to most people but I had the same error. I had set AWS_PROFILE as a permanent system environment variable on my Windows machine... and forgot. If your os has AWS_PROFILE set somewhere, you might see this error message.

AWS_PROFILE

Specifies the name of the AWS CLI profile with the credentials and options to use. This can be the name of a profile stored in a credentials or config file, or the value default to use the default profile.

If defined, this environment variable overrides the behavior of using the profile named [default] in the configuration file. You can override this environment variable by using the --profile command line parameter.
