Description

After installing `iamctl`, running with `init` fails with `AccessDenied` on the AWS policy download from s3. The file [https://awspolicygen.s3.amazonaws.com/js/policies.js](URL) mentioned in README.rst is available via browser.

```
host:src $ iamctl init
____ __ __ __ ___ ____ __
(_ _) /__\ ( \/ )/ __)(_ _)( )

Research direction

Start in iamctl.py at the init function and compare its S3 policy location with the URL documented in README.rst. Reproduce the iamctl init failure and inspect the AWS response; done means init can download the policy file without AccessDenied.
