Python boto upload with prefix

I'm trying to use boto in python to loop through and upload files to my aws bucket. I can successfully upload to my root bucket, but have been unable to upload to a specific prefix. Here is the snip I have:

conn = S3Connection(aws_access_key_id=key, aws_secret_access_key=secret)
bucket = conn.get_bucket('mybucket')
k = boto.s3.key.Key(bucket)
k.key = u
k.set_contents_from_filename(u)

It must be something simple, I have looked through other posts and have been unable to figure this out.

Thanks

You need to build the full path of the key's name and then you can set its content:

#Connect to aws
conn = S3Connection(aws_access_key_id=key, aws_secret_access_key=secret)
bucket = conn.get_bucket('mybucket')

#Build path
path = 'prefix'
key_name = 'this_is_any.file'
full_key_name = os.path.join(path, key_name)

#Set and save in S3
k = bucket.new_key(full_key_name)
k.set_contents_from_filename(...)
