I was totally on the wrong trail! Hopefully this post can serve others who were in my dilemma:
If you are looking to have a file as part of your model definition, look here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/ Looking in these locations did not supply what I was after: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#topics-http-file-uploads http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/#binding-uploaded-files http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/ I don't have it entirely working just yet, but this is what I was looking to do.
