Google Drive API, uploading file [Python]

I'm use API for upload my backup from server to my google drive. Authorization passed without problems and file is uploaded, but the file does not appear in the list. Code:

import httplib2
import pprint
from apiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
from apiclient.http import MediaFileUpload

f = file('privatekey.p12', 'rb')
key = f.read()
f.close()

credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials('[email protected]', key, scope='https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive')
http = httplib2.Http()
http = credentials.authorize(http)

drive_service = build('drive', 'v2', http=http)

media_body = MediaFileUpload('/path/to/file/document.txt', mimetype='text/plain', resumable=True)
body = {
    'title': 'My document',
    'description': 'A test document',
    'mimeType': 'text/plain'
}


file = drive_service.files().insert(body=body, media_body=media_body).execute()
pprint.pprint(file)

Response from api:

In Drive v3, we could upload using the create function:

A = service.files().create(media_body = 'pig.png',body = {'name':'pig'}).execute()

Although I have tried and this only works for media file types.
