How to upload a file to S3 without creating a temporary local file

Question

Is there any feasible way to upload a file which is generated dynamically to amazon s3 directly without first create a local file and then upload to the s3 server? I use python.

Answer 1

You could use BytesIO from the Python standard library.

from io import BytesIO
bytesIO = BytesIO()
bytesIO.write('whee')
bytesIO.seek(0)
s3_file.set_contents_from_file(bytesIO)
