Use boto to upload directory into s3

Thank you!

This also creates the bucket, and errors out if the bucket already exists. Would I simply comment out:

bucket = conn.create_bucket(bucket_name,
        location=boto.s3.connection.Location.DEFAULT)

to bypass that?

Ah, got it figured out. Simply replace:

bucket = conn.create_bucket(bucket_name,
        location=boto.s3.connection.Location.DEFAULT)

with

bucket = conn.get_bucket(bucket_name)

Using this technique can you upload files within a sub directory inside a directory?

This is great, just what I'm after. But how can I extract the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET in my Python script running within Bitbucket Pipelines? Other scripts I have seen make no reference to these two properties, but connect like this:

import boto3
client = boto3.client('s3')

Although the methods are different on boto3 so it's a bit tricky...advice?

@mark-norgate The example from Amazon for Bitbucket pipelines says to set environment variables which are automatically picked up by the boto3 library. linky

Also, thanks for the script!

You also need to add '/'

sourcepath = os.path.join(sourceDir + '/' + filename)

Won't do it recursively for sub-directories
