mkdir (create_bucket) throws IllegalLocationConstraintException

[delijati]

Error:

fs = s3fs.S3FileSystem(client_kwargs={"region_name": region_name})
# tried also config_kwargs
...

botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (IllegalLocationConstraintException) when calling the CreateBucket operation: The unspecified location constraint is incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent to.

Solution:

s3.create_bucket(                                                                                                                                                                                
    Bucket=target_uri.bucket,
    CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': REGION})

The error seems to have a very clear and obvious solution. Would you care to provide it?

Are you interested in making the appropriate PR, @delijati ? The boto authors worried that it isn't reasonable to guess the default region, so it would be reasonable to include the region to use as a keyword in the mkdir call.
