What is the equivalent Python code for the Curl URL. Is there any tutorial that shows how to convert curl to python?

Question

curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: video/mp4' \
         -H "Content-Length: 8036821" \
         -T "/Users/kenh/Downloads/amazing_race.mp4" \
         "https://hootsuite-video.s3.amazonaws.com/production/3563111_6923ef29-d2bd- 4b2a-a6d2-11295411c988.mp4?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIHSDDN2I7V2FDJGA&Expires=1465846288&Signature=3xLFijSn02YIx6AOOjmri5Djkko%3D"

Mainly I do not understand how to user -T line. Headers and URL I know.

Answer 1

-T is documented as follows:

-T, --upload-file <file>
    This  transfers  the  specified  local  file  to the remote URL. [...] If this is used on an HTTP(S) server, the PUT command will be used.

With that in mind, the requests invocation, based on the Streaming Uploads doc, should be approximately

import requests

with open("/Users/kenh/Downloads/amazing_race.mp4", "rb") as data:
    resp = requests.put(
        url="https://....",
        data=data,
        headers={
            "Content-type": "video/mp4",
        },
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()

Requests will divine the content-length header for you if it can.
