title: botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint
body: <p>I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, Python 2.7.3 and trying to run <a href="https://github.com/awslabs/chalice" rel="nofollow">chalice</a></p>
  
  <p>However, when I run </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>chalice deploy</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get back:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "<a href="https://lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/2015-03-31/functions/helloworld" rel="nofollow">https://lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/2015-03-31/functions/helloworld</a>"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I can't find any information on what's causing this. My AWS configuration was setup and tested to be working with boto.</p>
  
  <p>My config:</p>
  
  <p><code>[default]
  output = table
  region = us-west-1</code></p>
