Hi, I am writing an app to "apply some rainbows and unicorns" to a bunch of uploaded XML files (which can be uploaded as a compressed tar or zip file). Celery and rabbitmq will be used for the asynchronous tasks with jQuery (maybe with dajaxproject) to get updates on progress to the browser.
I'm at the point where I'm passing the uploaded files to my offline tasks and using cStringIO with both the tarfile and zipfile modules to handle the whole compressed files as strings and then saving the decompressed XML files in an array of strings to be later manhandled by cElementTree. There is a closed audience for this app and uncompressed filesizes will never be more than 3 or 4 MB (mostly they'll under 100KB). I don't expect this to be used by more than a handful of people per day (but it will save _alot_ of man hours). Is it madness to try to do this all in memory? Should I write out the file contents to the filesystem first using "for i in uploadedfile.chunks()"? Does anyone know of any open Django apps that do anything similar (upload a file, get presented with the results) so I can have a look?
