One idea would be to put 'fieldname' as the first parameter to the function, then use functools.partial [1] to create partial functions for each file field with the value set appropriately: thumbnail_image = FileField(upload_to=partial(get_upload_path, 'thumbnail_image')) [1]: http://docs.python.org/library/functools.html#functools.partial -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
