Sorry to resurrect this issue after a long time, but I can't find any mention on how to use service accounts in the documentation, or the corresponding changes in the code. AFAIK `boto` is still used, which only supports the S3-style HMAC keys, while service accounts require OAUth2 authentication. Am I missing something obvious?
