How to get a file from an S3 bucket then send it over email using Python?

I've been working on a service where I must grab a csv file from an S3 bucket, then send it all using python. I've tried various different methods such as MIMEapplication, however all have encountered problems : (

I think the biggest issue is that most examples define a path to a local directory, opposed to accessing the file through s3, so any help would be appreciated !!!

You would first need to download the file from the Amazon S3 bucket to the local disk.

For example:

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client('s3')
s3.download_file('my-bucket', 'object-name', '/tmp/filename')

Alternatively, you might be able to use smart-open · PyPI, which gives the ability to open() a file in Amazon S3 as if it were on a local disk.
