Notes to Self

This will be my “Things I Learned” series.

Python

  • Remove extra spaces in string

      my_string = " ".join(my_string.split())

Amazon S3

  • Always set metadata before setting file contents

      key.set_metadata('Content-Type', mimetypes.guess_type(filename)[0])
  key.set_metadata('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename="'+filename+'"')
  key.set_contents_from_file(file)
