Python S3 upload of zip file gives AttributeError: 'ZipFile' object has no attribute 'tell' error

I try to upload a zip file to my S3 bucket, but getting

AttributeError: 'ZipFile' object has no attribute 'tell' error

conn = boto.s3.connect_to_region(region_name=s3region,
                                             aws_access_key_id=userid,
                                             aws_secret_access_key=accesskey,
                                      calling_format=boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat())

            bucket = conn.get_bucket(s3bucket)

            k = boto.s3.key.Key(bucket, zipf)

            k.send_file(zipf) //<----Gives Exception

What is wrong here? (zipf is my zipfile)

if I modify the code like this;

   with open(zipf) as f:
            k.send_file(f)

I get

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, ZipFile found

I created zip file like;

zipfilename = 'AAA_' + str(datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(microsecond=0)) + '.zip'
    zipf = zipfile.ZipFile(zipfilename, mode='w')

    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
        for f in files:
            zipf.write(os.path.join(root, f))
    zipf.close()

Your zipfile is created with zipf = zipfile.ZipFile(zipfilename, mode='w').

Following the zipfile documentation, the tell() attribute is only defined for mode='r'.

There is no reason to use a zipfile object, moreover in write mode, to upload a file (be it zip or whatever) that we want read, in order to upload it to S3.

Just use open(zipfilename, 'r') before calling send_file() on the key.
