I'm almost certainly missing something very, very simple here, but I
haven't been able to find what it is on my own.
One view in my app should allow users to upload an OPML file, which the
app will parse and use to import feeds, but which won't otherwise be
stored. As with most other non-model-based forms, I'm using a custom
validator for this form:
class AddFromOPMLManipulator(formfields.Manipulator):
def __init__(self):
self.fields = (
formfields.FileUploadField(field_name="opml_file",
is_required=True,),
)
When the form is submitted, I get this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: string indices must be integers
The form enctype is multipart/form-data. Obviously the value of the
field the validator is seeing is a string, and obviously it shouldn't
be. So what's going wrong here? It's surely something that should be
completely obvious, but somehow I'm just managing to miss it.
