Thanks for highlighting this issue, since the example is in botocore I went ahead and created a PR there (boto/botocore#3177) to address this. It looks like just removing the c:\ will fix the example and make it consistent with other examples on that page.

I do not believe this is enough. This is another example:

response = client.put_object(
    Body='HappyFace.jpg',
    Bucket='examplebucket',
    Key='HappyFace.jpg',
)

print(response)

It is also confusing since the code does not upload a file from local disk; instead it created a file in S3 with the text "HappyFace.jpg" as content.

Ok although the PR addresses the inconsistency in that example, the issue remains where the examples may be misleading. Probably something like this is better:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('s3')

with open('HappyFace.jpg', 'rb') as file:
    response = client.put_object(
        Body=file.read(),
        Bucket='examplebucket',
        Key='HappyFace.jpg',
    )

print(response)
