To help illustrate the usefulness of the “Run Python Script” Automator Action I blogged about in my previous post, here’s an action that will upload files to the Amazon S3 Web Service. The script is pure Python and uses the extremely cool boto Python module to interact with Amazon web services. The script is really a sample of what could be done with The Run Python Script action, but I think it really shows off how the action helps to turn Automator into a great tool for interacting with Web Services.

Hi,
Many thanks for the idea of this great automator script but I got a problem during execution of the S3 Uploader app. Indeed, I got this message ” : exception() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)”. I made installations of boto and PyObjC with success, any ideas ?

Nico,
Highly likely the boto API has changed a little. I’ll have a look and let you know.
Jon.
