The handling of the POST request is typical. I don't know what your
model class
looks like, but the ???? could look something like this:
form = UploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
instance = ModelClassWithFileField()
instance.uploaded_by = request.user
save_instance(form, instance)
request.user.message_set.create(message=_('Your file has been
received.'))
That's it. The progress magic really happens in the code from the
snippets you listed: the upload handler that tracks progress in the
cache, and the view that reports it. Your template's going to need
some JavaScript, too, of course, to get the progress reports and
update the page.
I think that's all it took for me. Make sure you've got the latest
version of the 2070 patch ... and make sure you've got a caching
mechanism configured; forgetting to start memcached on your dev box
after a reboot can cause some head-scratching. ;^)
