I am new to Pyhton/Kaltura api, trying to upload videos on to their platform. I have a simple Flask application with the code below.

    from flask import Flask
    from KalturaClient import *
    from KalturaClient.Plugins.Core import *
    import os
    
    app = Flask(__name__)
    
    config = KalturaConfiguration(partner_id)
    config.serviceUrl = "https://www.kaltura.com/"
    client = KalturaClient(config)
    ks = client.session.start(
          "some_secret",
          "username@user.com",
          KalturaSessionType.ADMIN,
          'client-id')
    client.setKs(ks)
    
    uploadToken = KalturaUploadToken()
    
    uploadTokenId = "upload id"
    fileData = open('/path/to/file', 'r')
    resume = False
    finalChunk = True
    resumeAt = -1
    
    client.uploadToken.upload(uploadTokenId, fileData, resume, finalChunk, resumeAt)
    # print(result);
    
    entry = KalturaMediaEntry()
    entry.mediaType = KalturaMediaType.VIDEO
    entry.name = "going home 6"
    entry.description = "none"
    
    client.media.add(entry)
    # print(result);
    
    
    entryId = "entry_id"
    resource = KalturaUploadedFileTokenResource()
    resource.token = "sometoken"
    
    result = client.media.addContent(entryId, resource)
    print(result)
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app.run(debug=True)

I am following Kaltura API Workflow in order to upload a simple video to my Kaltura dashboard. I can follow the work flow on Kaltura console but cannot replicate the process in Flask. When I run the code, I am getting the error below
