Hi,
I have a fairly standard model:
class MediaObject(models.Model):
""" An instance of a MediaItem """
name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
path = models.FileField(_("File"), max_length=256,
upload_to='tempUpload/')
And thats all well and good, my uploads work and so on.
But what I currently do is I upload to a temporary directory (as shown
above), then the upload triggers some processing on the file.
Then I want to move the file. Before the process actually modified the
database directly, updating the path to a new location. But we don't
want to do that anymore as I want to provide a RESTapi to update the
location of the file.
I have read through:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/#topics-files
But seeing as Django uses the python File type it seems that I can't
update the path?
Is there a method of moving the file or the path? I would prefer not
to read in the file into memory if possible (my files can be Gb's in
size).
The only way I thought of getting around this limitation is to provide
the RESTApi but just use raw SQL instead and update the location.
Though I think that should be the last resort.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
