-MinIO Python SDK is Simple Storage Service (aka S3) client to perform bucket and object operations to any Amazon S3 compatible object storage service.
+The MinIO Python Client SDK provides high level APIs to access any MinIO Object Storage or other Amazon S3 compatible service.
 
-For a complete list of APIs and examples, please take a look at the [Python Client API Reference](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/python/API.html)
+This Quickstart Guide covers how to install the MinIO client SDK, connect to the object storage service, and create a sample file uploader.
 
-## Minimum Requirements
-Python 3.7 or higher.
+The example below uses:
+- [Python version 3.7+](https://www.python.org/downloads/) 
+- The [MinIO `mc` command line tool](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html)
+- The MinIO `play` test server
 
-## Download using pip
+The `play` server is a public MinIO cluster located at [https://play.min.io](https://play.min.io).
+This cluster runs the latest stable version of MinIO and may be used for testing and development.
+The access credentials in the example are open to the public and all data uploaded to `play` should be considered public and world-readable.
+
+For a complete list of APIs and examples, see the [Python Client API Reference](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/python/API.html)
+
+## Install the MinIO Python SDK
+
+The Python SDK requires Python version 3.7+.
+You can install the SDK with `pip` or from the [`minio/minio-py` GitHub repository](https://github.com/minio/minio-py):
+
+### Using `pip`
 
 ```sh
 pip3 install minio
 ```
 
-## Download source
+### Using Source From GitHub
 
 ```sh
 git clone https://github.com/minio/minio-py
 cd minio-py
 python setup.py install
 ```
 
-## Quick Start Example - File Uploader
-This example program connects to an S3-compatible object storage server, make a bucket on that server, and upload a file to the bucket.
+## Create a MinIO Client
 
-You need the following items to connect to an S3-compatible object storage server:
+To connect to the target service, create a MinIO client using the `Minio()` method with the following required parameters:
 
-| Parameters | Description                                                |
-|------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
-| Endpoint   | URL to S3 service.                                         |
-| Access Key | Access key (aka user ID) of an account in the S3 service.  |
-| Secret Key | Secret key (aka password) of an account in the S3 service. |
+| Parameter    | Description                                            |
+|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
+| `endpoint`   | URL of the target service.                             |
+| `access_key` | Access key (user ID) of a user account in the service. |
+| `secret_key` | Secret key (password) for the user account.            |
 
-This example uses MinIO server playground [https://play.min.io](https://play.min.io). Feel free to use this service for test and development.
+For example:
 
-### file_uploader.py
 ```py
 from minio import Minio
-from minio.error import S3Error
 
+client = Minio("play.min.io",
+    access_key="Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F",
+    secret_key="zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG",
+)
+```
+
+## Example - File Uploader
+
+This example does the following:
+
+- Connects to the MinIO `play` server using the provided credentials.
+- Creates a bucket named `python-test-bucket` if it does not already exist.
+- Uploads a file named `test-file.txt` from `/tmp`, renaming it `my-test-file.txt`.
+- Verifies the file was created using [`mc ls`](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc/mc-ls.html).
+
+### `file_uploader.py`
+
+```py
+# file_uploader.py MinIO Python SDK example
+from minio import Minio
+from minio.error import S3Error
 
 def main():
     # Create a client with the MinIO server playground, its access key
     # and secret key.
-    client = Minio(
-        "play.min.io",
+    client = Minio("play.min.io",
         access_key="Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F",
         secret_key="zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG",
     )
 
-    # Make 'asiatrip' bucket if not exist.
-    found = client.bucket_exists("asiatrip")
+    # The file to upload, change this path if needed
+    source_file = "/tmp/test-file.txt"
+
+    # The destination bucket and filename on the MinIO server
+    bucket_name = "python-test-bucket"
+    destination_file = "my-test-file.txt"
+
+    # Make the bucket if it doesn't exist.
+    found = client.bucket_exists(bucket_name)
     if not found:
-        client.make_bucket("asiatrip")
+        client.make_bucket(bucket_name)
+        print("Created bucket", bucket_name)
     else:
-        print("Bucket 'asiatrip' already exists")
+        print("Bucket", bucket_name, "already exists")
 
-    # Upload '/home/user/Photos/asiaphotos.zip' as object name
-    # 'asiaphotos-2015.zip' to bucket 'asiatrip'.
+    # Upload the file, renaming it in the process
     client.fput_object(
-        "asiatrip", "asiaphotos-2015.zip", "/home/user/Photos/asiaphotos.zip",
+        bucket_name, destination_file, source_file,
     )
     print(
-        "'/home/user/Photos/asiaphotos.zip' is successfully uploaded as "
-        "object 'asiaphotos-2015.zip' to bucket 'asiatrip'."
+        source_file, "successfully uploaded as object",
+        destination_file, "to bucket", bucket_name,
     )
 
-
 if __name__ == "__main__":
     try:
         main()
     except S3Error as exc:
         print("error occurred.", exc)
 ```
 
-#### Run File Uploader
+To run this example:
+
+1. Create a file in `/tmp` named `test-file.txt`.
+   To use a different path or filename, modify the value of `source_file`.
+
+2. Run `file_uploader.py` with the following command:
+
 ```sh
-$ python file_uploader.py
-'/home/user/Photos/asiaphotos.zip' is successfully uploaded as object 'asiaphotos-2015.zip' to bucket 'asiatrip'.
+python file_uploader.py
+```
 
-$ mc ls play/asiatrip/
-[2016-06-02 18:10:29 PDT]  82KiB asiaphotos-2015.zip
+If the bucket does not exist on the server, the output resembles the following:
+
+```sh
+Created bucket python-test-bucket
+/tmp/test-file.txt successfully uploaded as object my-test-file.txt to bucket python-test-bucket
+```
+
+3. Verify the uploaded file with `mc ls`:
+
+```sh
+mc ls play/python-test-bucket
+[2023-11-03 22:18:54 UTC]  20KiB STANDARD my-test-file.txt
 ```
