download_fileobj#

S3.Object.download_fileobj(Fileobj, ExtraArgs=None, Callback=None, Config=None)#

Download this object from S3 to a file-like object.

The file-like object must be in binary mode.

This is a managed transfer which will perform a multipart download in multiple threads if necessary.

Usage:

import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
bucket = s3.Bucket('mybucket')
obj = bucket.Object('mykey')

with open('filename', 'wb') as data:
    obj.download_fileobj(data)
Parameters:

  • Fileobj (a file-like object) – A file-like object to download into. At a minimum, it must implement the write method and must accept bytes.

  • ExtraArgs (dict) – Extra arguments that may be passed to the client operation. For allowed download arguments see boto3.s3.transfer.S3Transfer.ALLOWED_DOWNLOAD_ARGS.

  • Callback (function) – A method which takes a number of bytes transferred to be periodically called during the download.

  • Config (boto3.s3.transfer.TransferConfig) – The transfer configuration to be used when performing the download.
