Upload file from Django app to IBM Cloud Object Storage - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to connect a django app to IBM COS and having trouble. I'm capturing user video and want to save the file to IBM COS and the user info to Postgres also hosted on IBM. I'm able to connect from both the terminal and my app to IBM COS and move files around, but am having trouble getting the default storage configured properly. I'm using django-storages, trying to adapt the AWS configurations for IBM but I must be missing something.
This code will save the file to IBM COS, but makes no entries in the DB. The problem may be in the configuration?
Also, I am not able to manually upload a file form the django admin panel - I get a similar traceback. Thanks in advance for any help.
