I want to share with you a script I've been hacking on to quickly and easily upload files to Amazon's S3 service. upload_to_s3.py takes the name of the bucket as a parameter, and a list of files to upload from standard in. It is intended to run in the background, and communicates to the user by libnotify/pynotify. When it's done uploading, the clipboard is set with the url(s) to the file(s).

Please note that before using upload_to_s3.py, you must enter your S3 access key and secret access key in the script.

Example usage:

cd /directory/with/media/files/
find | grep -v ".svn" | python /path/to/update_s3.py

"I found that changing the line
headers['Date'] = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %X GMT", time.gmtime())
to
headers['Date'] = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT", time.gmtime())
resolved some issues I was having with different locales using 24 or 12-hour clocks."
