"""
When you call list_archives or remove_items with an ec2snapshots argument, the library
will look in your environment variables for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
If you do not want to use environment variables, you can pass those in as keyword args
(aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key).
