boto3 fails on credentials with special characters

[pceric]

python v2.7.11
boto3 v1.4.2

I'm trying to access an SQS resource using boto3 with the credentials set as environment variables. My AWS auto generated credentials have special chars in them. Thus I have something like this in my ENV:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=abc123
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=abc/123+4

When I call boto3.resource('sqs') it fails with the following error and stack trace:

This also fails if I pass them into the client() method. However it does work perfectly if I inject them into the ~/.aws/credentials file.

I just discovered the tool I was using to manage credentials was appending a newline to the end of the env vars, which would explain the behaviour. Closing the issue.
