Don't suspect, make sure:

The DictReader constructor requires a file like object as it's first argument,
not a string. It is also not like open(), so it doesn't take the 'r' argument.
You could try:
...
reader = csv.DictReader(request.FILES['filename'])
...
but you may have to normalize the line endings.

something wrong or is
