Short snippet: how to upload file/image from URL or locale file system in Django.
Suppose we have a model like this:
from django.db import models
class Animal(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(u'name', max_length=255)
photo = ImageField(upload_to='photos')
Uploading
import os
import urllib
from django.core.files import File
image = urllib.urlretrieve(url)
animal = Animal.objects.create(name='Dog')
fname = os.path.basename(url)
with open(image[0]) as fp:
animal.photo.save(fname, File(fp))
animal.save()
