Python: How to read and load an excel file from AWS S3?












1















I have uploaded an excel file to AWS S3 bucket and now I want to read it in python. Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have achieved so far,



import boto3
import os

aws_id = 'aws_id'
aws_secret = 'aws_secret_key'

client = boto3.client('s3', aws_access_key_id=aws_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret)
bucket_name = 'my_bucket'
object_key = 'my_excel_file.xlsm'
object_file = client.get_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=object_key)
body = object_file['Body']
data = body.read()


What do I need to do next in order to read this data and work on it?

          Python doesn't support excel files natively. You could use the pandas library pandas library read_excel functionality

          • Apparently files reterived from S3 using boto3 library are encoded in some particular format. I am not able to read them in using the read_excel functions without knowing the decoding format

          • @exan Is that with the additional library? If so, please edit your question to show your updated code. (S3 does not change file contents.)

          You can directly read xls file from S3 without having to download or save it locally. xlrd module has a provision to provide raw data to create workbook object.
          Following is the code snippet.



          from boto3 import Session  
          from xlrd.book import open_workbook_xls

          aws_id = ''
          aws_secret = ''
          bucket_name = ''
          object_key = ''

          s3_session = Session(aws_access_key_id=aws_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret)
          bucket_object = s3_session.resource('s3').Bucket(bucket_name).Object(object_key)
          content = bucket_object.get()['Body'].read()
          workbook = open_workbook_xls(file_contents=content)

                You can directly read xls file from S3 without having to download or save it locally. xlrd module has a provision to provide raw data to create workbook object.
                Following is the code snippet.



                from boto3 import Session  
                from xlrd.book import open_workbook_xls

                aws_id = ''
                aws_secret = ''
                bucket_name = ''
                object_key = ''

                s3_session = Session(aws_access_key_id=aws_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret)
                bucket_object = s3_session.resource('s3').Bucket(bucket_name).Object(object_key)
                content = bucket_object.get()['Body'].read()
                workbook = open_workbook_xls(file_contents=content)
