Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Issue with uploading files with web2py
What is "file"? It must not be the original request.vars.photo you were dealing with, as that was a string object. In any case, looks like "file" is what we need, so you should now be able to use it in your original code and have web2py automatically rename and save the file via the built-in upload mechanism. Note, looks like "file" is the expected cgi.FieldStorage object, so file.file would be the actual file object, and file.filename would be the original filename. You don't have to worry about that, though -- you can just pass "file" in the insert method, and web2py will extract the file and filename automatically.

Hi again, I have found out as follows after twiking with the dhtmlx framework. I am not sure how o access the actual image, i have noticed the file is an instance of something...not a file per say. i have the following results: print type(file) type: print dir(file) dir: ['FieldStorageClass', '_FieldStorage__file', '_FieldStorage__write', '__contains__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__getitem__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__len__', '__module__', '__nonzero__', '__repr__', 'bufsize', 'disposition', 'disposition_options', 'done', 'file', 'filename', 'fp', 'getfirst', 'getlist', 'getvalue', 'has_key', 'headers', 'innerboundary', 'keep_blank_values', 'keys', 'length', 'list', 'make_file', 'name', 'outerboundary', 'qs_on_post', 'read_binary', 'read_lines', 'read_lines_to_eof', 'read_lines_to_outerboundary', 'read_multi', 'read_single', 'read_urlencoded', 'skip_lines', 'strict_parsing', 'type', 'type_options'] print file file: FieldStorage('file', 'power.gif', 'GIF87a\x1f\x02c\x01w\x00\x00!\xfe\x1aSoftware: Microsoft Office\x00,\x00\x00\x00\x00\x1f\x02c\x01\x87\xf7\xde{\xff\xef\xa5\xef\xbdZ\xf7\xd6s\xf7\xce{\xff\xe6\x94\xe6\xbdZ\xe6\xb5Z\xef\xc5Z\xde\xbdk\xf7\xe6\x94\xf7\xe6{\xff\xf7\xb5\xf7\xcek\xef\xbdk\xd6\x9cR\xf7\xd6\x8c\xb5{!\xe6\x9cB\xd6\xadZ\xef\xcek\xef\xb5Z\xef\xadJ\xd6\x9c1\xff\.etc...too long to display I looked at the PHP implementation which looks as follows: $filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"]; move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "uploaded/".$filename); What would be the equivalent in python?

Well, it's just a string, so that's not the file. You have to figure out how the JS library is sending the file to the server.

You'll have the check the JS framework docs to see how/where it is posting the file (e.g., maybe via a separate Ajax request).
