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

I assume you're using boto. boto's Bucket.set_contents_from_file() will accept a StringIO object, and any code you have written to write data to a file should be easily adaptable to write to a StringIO object. Or if you generate a string, you can use set_contents_from_string().
