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
.
