‘without writes the file’
You have to write a file … then you can add/upload to IPFS

I assume you’re using https://github.com/ipfs/py-ipfs-http-client? I believe you need to call add_bytes or add_str`.

Right, I stand corrected. Thanks, stebalien!

add_bytes ( data , **kwargs)
Adds a set of bytes as a file to IPFS.

client.add_bytes(b"Mary had a little lamb")
‘QmZfF6C9j4VtoCsTp4KSrhYH47QMd3DNXVZBKaxJdhaPab’

add_str() almost the exact same call:

client.add_str(u"Mary had a little lamb")
‘QmZfF6C9j4VtoCsTp4KSrhYH47QMd3DNXVZBKaxJdhaPab’
