Python API for Amazon EC2 that supports files

Question

The command line tool ec2-run-instances takes a -f parameter to pass a file to the instance at run time. Are there any Python APIs for EC2 that do the equivalent?

I'm looking to customize a Wowza Media Server, which requires passing in a file when booting up a new image.

You can either use boto. Then you can possibly code a small script to open a file first and read it's contents and pass it as user-data.
