AWS S3 has to load before I execute commands on the command line

Question

I have a django project integrated with s3, and everytime I want to execute something on the command line, e.g. python manage.py migrate, the terminal has to load this first:

BEGIN REQUEST++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Request URL = https://ec2.amazonaws.com?Action=DescribeRegions&Version=2013-10-15

RESPONSE++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Response code: 200

and this creates a few seconds delay for my command to execute. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening as it's causing delays in development.

settings.py

from draft1.aws.conf import *
from draft1.aws.conf import S3_URL, AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATIC_URL = S3_URL + 'static/'
MEDIA_URL = '//%s.s3.amazonaws.com/media/' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
MEDIA_ROOT = MEDIA_URL
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + 'admin/'

Grep your project for boto or boto3 if you're using AWS python sdk. Move the contents of the ~/.awsfolder to some other folder or temporarily remove the aws credentials from your project (if it's your local development environment) which will make the function call to raise an exception.
