How to upload string as Wasabi/S3 object using boto3 in Python

In order to upload a Python string like

my_string = "This shall be the content for a file I want to create on an S3-compatible storage"

to an S3-compatible storage like Wasabi or Amazon S3, you need to encode it using .encode("utf-8") and then wrap it in an io.BytesIO object:

my_bucket.upload_fileobj(io.BytesIO(my_string.encode("utf-8")), "myfile.txt")

Full example:

import boto3
import io

# Create connection to Wasabi / S3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3',
    endpoint_url = 'https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com',
    aws_access_key_id = 'MY_ACCESS_KEY',
    aws_secret_access_key = 'MY_SECRET_KEY'
)

# Get bucket object
my_bucket = s3.Bucket('boto-test')

# Upload string to file
my_string = "This shall be the content for a file I want to create on an S3-compatible storage"

my_bucket.upload_fileobj(io.BytesIO(my_string.encode("utf-8")), "myfile.txt")

Don’t forget to fill in MY_ACCESS_KEY and MY_SECRET_KEY. Depending on what region and what S3-compatible service you use, you might need to use another endpoint URL instead of https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com.
