## Written for Python 2.7.3
## Anthony Allan
## Free to use and reproduce

## This script is built for batch uploading
## files to your Rackspace Cloud Files account.
## Requires bindings for cloudfiles found here,
## https://github.com/rackspace/python-cloudfiles

# os, sys, and msvcrt are default libraries
# cloudfiles library nees to be installed
import os, sys, msvcrt, cloudfiles

username = '' # Rackspace account username
key = '' # Rackspace account api key
localDir = 'C:/Users/Anthony/Desktop/test' # No trailing slash
containerName = 'test' # Cloud Files container name

connection = cloudfiles.get_connection(username,key) # Start connection
container = connection.create_container(containerName) # Create or find container

# Locate all files to upload
# Currently set to only grab tifs and jpgs
# Does not crawl through subfolders
files = (localDir+'/%s'%x for x in os.listdir(localDir) if x.endswith('.tif') or x.endswith('.jpg'))

# Main upload loop
for file in files:
    success = False
    while success == False:
        try:
            currentObj = container.create_object(file) # Create new object
            currentObj.load_from_filename(file) # Upload
            print "Successfully uploaded", file # Yay!
            success = True
        except:
            # This type of error catching is not best practice, however
            # I had close to 700 GB of files to upload and I could not
            # have the script breaking when I wasn't around to catch it.
            print "***Failed to upload", file
            print "***Error:", sys.exc_info()[0] # Displays last system exception
            print "***Trying again..."
print "DONE... Press any key to exit."
msvcrt.getch() # Cool little feature in Windows to return any keypress
