Hi all,
What I want to be able to do is have a file upload button that lets the user upload an .xls file and either save it in memory or to the server, so I can take the file and parse it for later use. I have tried using the file upload recipe on the website (http://webpy.org/cookbook/fileupload), but I get an error when I try to upload an Excel file, but it works fine for a .txt document. Some have suggested using an Excel library (xlrd) to do so, but that library would only work AFTER I upload the file. I need to know how to upload the Excel file without it throwing an error. The error that I receive when I upload the Excel file is UnicodeDecodeError. Is there another way to upload an Excel file other than using webpy's file upload recipe? I'm starting to think I should switch frameworks, since there isn't much documentation for webpy... Python CODE: class index: def GET(self): web.header("Content-Type","text/html;") return render.index(form) def POST(self): x = web.input(calendar_file={}) calendar_contents = x['calendar_file'].value return render.results(calendar_contents) ------ HTML CODE: $def with (form) <div class="well well-lg"> <h4> GENERATE ON-CALL SCHEDULE </h4> <form role="form" method="POST"enctype="multipart/form-data" action=""> <div class="form-group"> <label form="inputFile">Upload File</label> <input type="file" name="calendar_file" id="file"/> </div> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="upload">Submit</button> </form> </div> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
