I think it might be a good idea to document the direct usage of the FileField, and ImageField model fields.
The docs make the assumption that everyone is using ModelForm to upload files. If I have a file on my hard drive and want to use it to populate the field, I would try something like: from PIL import Image, ImageFile image = open('/some/path/to/image.jpg', 'rb') instance = MyModel( image=image, title="Hello, World." ) instance.save() The docs show examples of how to manually use models, but don't give any examples of how to do this when an image, or file is included in the mix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
