* status: closed => reopened * resolution: invalid => Comment: This still does not work for me. Documented open() does not honor mode (it's not *reopening* r/o file). That has a annoying side effect, so that FieldFile.file.open("w") does not work. This is because _get_file has already opened it as read only. As a workaround, every open could be preceded by lonely close(), but IMHO that's just plain ugly. My app code looks like {{{ class MyModel(models.Model: file = models.FileField(...) this does not work: f=mymodel.file.open("rw") mymodel.file.write(content) # -> invalid fd mymodel.file.close() this will work: f=mymodel.file # file gets opened here, see [1] f.file.close() # following open [2] uses "rb" without this -> invalid fd when writing f.file.open("wb") mymodel.file.write(content) mymodel.file.close() }}} 1. http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/models/fields/files.py#L49 2. http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/files/base.py#L110 -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13809#comment:2> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
