Simple Python script to upload a file to Rackspace CloudFiles

README

CONFIGURATION
-------------

To setup, simply set your username and API access key in the
cloudfiles.get_conenction call.  If you're not using the UK
version of Rackspace, remove the third parameter from the above
call.

EXAMPLE USAGE
-------------

To upload the local file README.txt to the container "readmes",
just run:

  python cloudfiles-upload README.txt readmes

Note that the container must have already been created.

cloudfiles-upload-py

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

import cloudfiles
import math
import os.path
import sys

def main(args):
    def usage(why):
        print why
        print "USAGE:"
        print "%s <local-file> <existing-container>" % (sys.argv[0],)

    def show_progress(transferred, size):
        done = 50 * float(transferred) / size
        print "\r%.1f%% [%s>%s] %d/%d    " % (2 * done,
                                            "#" * int(math.ceil(done)),
                                            " " * int(50 - done),
                                            transferred, size),

    if len(args) != 2:
        usage("wrong number of arguments")
        sys.exit(1)

    if not os.path.isfile(args[0]):
        usage("file does not exist")
        sys.exit(3)

    print "Uploading %s to %s" % (args[0], args[1])

    conn = cloudfiles.get_connection('<your username>',
                                     '<your api key>',
                                     authurl = cloudfiles.uk_authurl) # remove this if you're NOT
                                                                      # an UK customer

    cont = conn.get_container(args[1])

    if not cont:
        usage("container does not exist")
        sys.exit(2)

    obj = cont.create_object(os.path.basename(args[0]))

    obj.load_from_filename(args[0], callback=show_progress)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main(sys.argv[1:])

A quick question. I have used this code to upload files into the home or base directory in rackspace. However, I cannot use it to upload files along a directory path, for example /home/dir_path/to/path_where_files_are. Am I missing something? Thanks.
