FileField returns a wrapper around File which has a size attribute [1]. In your template you're accessing that field. In your python code you're trying to take "size" from a built-in type "file". To get the value of the "file" field from your model you should use "self.file". Unlike in some other OO languages, object attributes in methods are not implicit.
