You can use the python time module in the standard library import time month_int = time.strptime(month_str, "%b").tm_mon The %b formatter assumes your month_str is a valid abbreviated month str (e.g. 'apr'). Check the time docs here: http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-time.html On Feb

I would use Django's current behavior. This defaults to using 64K chunks when a file is bigger that FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE. Since 64k chunks should be small enough for Webfaction. You just need to set FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE in the settings.py to something low such as 102500 (100K).
