Upload archive AWS Glacier Python Scripting

I'm trying to make a python script that allows me to create / delete/list vaults, execute jobs, list / describe vault jobs, upload/download archives, and make and get inventories.

I'm using awscli and boto3 python3 packages

I'm facing something quiet weird, when uploading a file with command line as it follows :

aws glacier upload-archive --vault-name <vault_name> --archive-description <archive_name> --body <file_2_upload> --account-id -

Where vault_name, archive_name, file_2_upload are variables passed when executing the script and account-id is set up before script execution with aws configure command

It takes a while in function of the file size, but it works as expected

When trying with my script (this is the part that is in charge of backups)

glacier = boto3.client('glacier') upload = glacier.upload_archive(vaultName=vault, body=archive, archiveDescription=name)

The answer is almost immediate, and the output shows something like this

HTTP Code : 201 ==> which means operation successful

However my vault size doesn't increase, and I cannot find the file in it

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Ok, I've finally found the reason why it was not working, I needed to charge the file / filepart in memory as it follows :

with open(archive, 'rb') as upload:
    archive_upload = upload.read(size)
    glacier_upload = glacier.upload_archive(vaultName=vault, archiveDescription=name, body=archive_upload)

I hope that it can helps anyone facing the same issue

Cheers
