Documented steps
Install the SDK: pip3 install minio (requires Python 3.10+).
Create a client: from minio import Minio; client = Minio(endpoint='localhost:9000', access_key='KEY', secret_key='SECRET', secure=False) for local HTTP.
Create a bucket if needed: if not client.bucket_exists('b'): client.make_bucket('b').
Upload a file with client.fput_object('b','obj.txt','/tmp/file.txt') or from memory with client.put_object.
Download with client.fget_object('b','obj.txt','/tmp/out.txt') or stream with client.get_object.
List objects with client.list_objects('b', recursive=True) and stat/delete with client.stat_object and client.remove_object.
Known gotchas
Pass secure=False when talking to plain-HTTP localhost or self-signed MinIO, otherwise the handshake fails.
put_object requires you to supply the byte length and a data source (file-like or bytes); fput_object handles a local path.
The SDK is S3-compatible, so the same Minio client can target AWS S3 by swapping the endpoint.
