I've just implemented this in a project:
binary_data = open(self.filename(), "rb").read()
mimetype, encoding = mimetypes.guess_type(self.filename())
if not mimetype:
mimetype = 'application/octet-stream' # Riak's own default
self.riak_object = self.bucket.new_binary(
self.hashstring,
binary_data,
mimetype
)
which writes binary data to a Riak bucket from a file, using Python's
mimetypes library to determine the content type from the file's extension.
I think it could be convenient to have this be included in the Riak Python
client, so perhaps it can implement better buffering. Something like
bucket.new_binary_from_file(key, filename)
