I am trying to create and download a new SSH key using boto, as in this question, and I am using the steps outlined in this answer: 

key_cass = conn.create_key_pair('cassandra_keypair')
key_cass.save('path/to/folder/'.encode('utf-8'))

In this case, it tells me that:

TypeError: Can't mix strings and bytes in path components

When I remove the explicit encoding: 

key_cass.save('path/to/folder/')

I get:

TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

If it helps, I am using boto version 2.36.0 on Python 3.4.3.

Its mainly because you are using Python 3.x

In Python 3.x, String is not the same type as for Python 2.x

Solution 1 : Run it in Python 2.x

Solution 2 : Use some typecasting for the same

Hope it helps..
