Having a little trouble with getting an attachment to work. This is a
simplified version of the controller:
form = FORM('Attach', [INPUT(_name='attachment', _type='file')])
if form.accepts(request):
v = form.vars.attachment
if not v is None and not v == '':
v = db.attachments.attachment.store(v)
db(db.attachments.id==id).update(attachment = v)
And this is the result:
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: read
The code for using store(v) came from another thread. When I print out v before
calling store(), it prints out something like this:
FieldStorage('attachment', 'filename.txt', 'The actual text of the file')
Looking through the dal.py, it looks like the line "shutil.copyfileobj(file,
dest_file)" is expecting an actual File object, not a FieldStorage object,
hence the attribute error. But if I try to pass "storage(v.file)" instead of
"storage(v)", then the DAL errors out because it's expecting a FieldStorage
object, not a File object.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here? I should mention that using
SQLFORM and SQLFORM.factory with attachments works just fine, it's only FORM
that is giving me trouble.
