Boto3 Upload_file - TypeError: expected string or buffer

Question

Im trying to do a simple upload of a .txt file with a few lines in it. I have used AWS' own example, but getting an error. I have searched for a few hours and tried 5-6 different upload methodes, all giving the same error message. What am I missing?

s3 = boto3.client('s3')
filename = 'file.txt' bucket_name = 'my-bucket'
s3.upload_file(filename, bucket_name, filename)

Error:

TypeError: expected string or buffer

Okay, so this was me being stupid..

I had my bucket defind as

bucket_name = s3.Bucket('hs-sftp-abc-shopping-sto')

And the upload function as

s3.upload_file(filename, bucket_name, filename)

But the bucket name should just be a string, and not a s3.bucket().

FML :-)
