Can't parse InMemoryUploadedFile object in Django using API

[KenWhitesell]

@eric-prog

I am not sure how to turn this to a file object or something readable.

This line:

@eric-prog

file = request.FILES[‘doc’]

gives you a “file-like” object. (Not an actual file in the file system)

This line:

@eric-prog

       file = request.FILES['doc'].read() 

gives you the bytes object with the data from the file.

Saving that file as a field in a model would give you a “real” file-system-based file - but you started out with the stipulation that you didn’t want to do that.

This handles the Django side of it.
