AWS S3 write an object - TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

I'm trying to write a simple txt file to S3 using boto3. No matter what I do it would throw the same error. The variable 'msg' is a string. In theory it should have been accepted but it did not work. So I encoded it, still doesn't work. Any ideas? TIA

report = s3.Object(bucket, reportfilename)
byte_msg=bytes(msg, 'utf-8')
s3put = report.put(Body=byte_msg)

Traceback (most recent call last):

The error is thrown in block if not VALID_BUCKET.search(bucket) and not VALID_S3_ARN.search(bucket)

Per the docs, s3.Object constructor accepts bucket_name (string) and key (string) as arguments. Make sure you're passing the bucket name as a string and not as a Bucket object.
