Hello,
I am trying to upload packages (APT,YUM,PYPI,RAW,DOCKER) to nexus using python. I have only find a way to upload maven packages. I would like to upload some other formats of packages using similar scripts as below example for maven.
import requests
params = (
(‘repository’, ‘maven-releases’),
)
files = {
‘maven2.groupId’: (None, ‘com.example’),
‘maven2.artifactId’: (None, ‘test-app’),
‘maven2.version’: (None, ‘1.0.0’),
‘maven2.asset1’: (‘example.json’, open(‘example.json’, ‘rb’)),
‘maven2.asset1.extension’: (None, ‘json’),
}
response = [requests.post](http://requests.post/)(‘[http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/components](http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/components)’, params=params, files=files, auth=(‘admin’, ‘admin123’))

Here is example for uploading raw packages with python script.
import requests
params = (
(‘repository’, ‘hosted-raw’), #repository name
)
files = {
‘raw.asset1’: (‘package.tar.gz’)
}
data = {
‘raw.directory’: (‘packages/raw/’),
‘raw.asset1.filename’: (‘package.tar.gz’)
}
response = requests.post(‘[http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/components’](http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/components%E2%80%99), params=params, files=files, data=data, auth=(‘admin’, ‘admin123’))
I still have problem with apt and yum packages

Thank you for this Niko. I used your code as a reference, but instead of ending up with the actual package.tar.gz file in e.g. repository/hosted-raw/packages/raw I have a text file containing the path & filename. Can you confirm your package is uploaded successfully or if you also just have a text file? Thanks again and good work.
Edit:
I came across [this post](http://community.sonatype.com/t/uploading-packages-to-nexus3-using-python-script/10227) and had to do the following:
```auto
files = {
'raw.asset1': (myfile, open(myfile, 'rb'))
}
```
This got mine working, but only for text-based files (meaning now it’s the proper contents inside, rather than just the path/filename.ext inside). I’m getting `` for binary files. I’m still pretty new to python but I suspect it’s the way I’m opening the file, or maybe open isn’t the function I need. I’ll update this thread if I figure it out.
