How to upload InMemoryUploadedFile to my S3 Bucket?

Question

I have a simple upload form which includes an image as a FileField:

def post(request):    
    if request.user.is_authenticated():
        form_post = PostForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None)
        if form_post.is_valid():
            instance = form_post.save(commit=False)
            instance.user = request.user

            instance.save()

            return HttpResponseRedirect('/home/')
        else:
            form_post = PostForm()

        context = {
            'form_post': form_post,
        }
        return render(request, 'post/post.html', context)
    else:
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/accounts/signup/")

When a user adds an image to the form, it fires this JS function:

$('input#id_image').on('change', function(e) {...} 

which gives a preview of the image. This is the point where I want the image to be uploaded to my media folder directory (I'm using S3 storage). By default, the image is uploaded when the user submits the form, but I want it to be uploaded as soon as $('input#id_image').on('change' is triggered.

What I've done so far is retrieve the image in InMemoryUploadedFile format in my views:

$('input#id_image').on('change', function(e) {
var formData = new FormData();

formData.append('image', $('input[type=file]')[0].files[0]);
formData.append('csrfmiddlewaretoken', $("input[name='csrfmiddlewaretoken']").val());

$.ajax({
    url: '/upload_image/',
    data: formData,
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: false,
    processData: false, 
    ...
});

^ sends to views:

def upload_image(request):
    if request.is_ajax():
        img = request.FILES.get('image')
        print(img) #successfully prints the filename

But I'm stuck in what to do next in terms of uploading this InMemoryUploadedFileto my S3 bucket. Any advice?

Edit

img = request.FILES.get('image')
print(img)  # successfully prints the filename

s3_connection = boto.connect_s3(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, host="us-east-1")
bucket = s3_connection.get_bucket('my-bucket', validate=False)
key = Key(bucket, img.name)
key.send_file(img) #this line fires the error
return HttpResponse('upload ok')

key.send_file(img) returns this error:

socket.gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Answer 1

Had trouble getting boto to work but I upgraded to boto3 and it works fine now.

Here's the code:

img = request.FILES.get('image')
session = boto3.Session(
    aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    aws_secret_access_key=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
)
s3 = session.resource('s3')

s3.Bucket('my-bucket').put_object(Key='media/%s' % img.name, Body=img)
return HttpResponse()

This successfully uploads the image to my bucket during the AJAX call.

Answer 2

Try this,

import boto
from boto.s3.key import Key
from django.http import HttpResponse


def upload_image(request):
    if request.is_ajax():
        img = request.FILES.get('image')
        print(img)  # successfully prints the filename

        s3_connection = boto.connect_s3("YOUR CREDENTIALS")
        bucket = s3_connection.get_bucket('your bucket name')
        key = Key(bucket, img.name)
        key.send_file(img.read())
        return HttpResponse('upload ok')

NB: I didn't tried this, I found one related answer here
