User and password

If you are connecting to the AWS AMI MapD instance, use the public IP address as the host and the instance ID as the password. Here is the connection pattern:

from pymapd import connectconnection = connect(user="mapd", password= "{password}",      host="{my.host.com}", dbname="mapd")cursor = connection.cursor()

Here is an example of what a filled out connect instantiation could look like:

connection = connect(user="mapd", password= "i-0ed5ey62se2w8eed3",   host="ec2-54-212-133-87.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com", dbname="mapd")
