Unable to save parquet file using s3 url

[tomers]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd

data = [1, 2, 3]
df = pd.DataFrame()
s3_url = 's3://my_bucket/path/to/file.parquet'
df.to_parquet(s3_url)

Problem description

I am trying to upload a Panda's dataframe as a new file in s3. I am getting FileNotFoundError since the s3 file is opened for read instead of write.
Flow:

# frame.py:to_parquet():to_parquet(...)
# parquet.py:to_parquet():impl.write(...)
# parquet.py:write():get_filepath_or_buffer(...)
# parquet.py:get_filepath_or_buffer():s3.get_filepath_or_buffer(...)
# s3.py:get_filepath_or_buffer():fs.open(...)
# core.py():open():return S3File(mode='rb', ...)
...

It looks as if s3fs tried to read the file instead of write to it.

Another issue is that I can't specify AWS profile to use. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48486209/specify-aws-profile-name-to-use-when-uploading-pandas-dataframe-to-s3

Expected Output

A new file should be created.

Output of pd.show_versions()

>>> pd.show_versions()
