I'm having a problem with a command script that I want to create a object that has a FileField as part of the model.
My Model Looks like this: class Files(models.Model): STATUS = ( ('unknown', 'Unknown'), ('down', 'Downloading'), ('done', 'Done'), ('dup', 'Duplicate') ) file = models.FileField(upload_to = "files/%Y-%m") date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) date_started = models.DateTimeField(blank=True) date_finished = models.DateTimeField(blank=True) date_pub = models.DateTimeField(blank=True) status = models.CharField(max_length=8, choices=STATUS) download = models.BooleanField(blank=True) And then in my command script, it looks like this: class Command(BaseCommand): help = 'Scan RSS Feed and Download Files.' def getFiles(self): for tors in self.fetch: newfile = Files() filename = files['link'].rsplit('/',1)[1] u = urllib2.urlopen(files['link']) localFile = open('/tmp/%s' % filename, 'w') localFile.write(u.read()) localFile.close() #newfile.file.open('/tmp/%s' % filename, 'b') newfile.file.save(filename,open('/tmp/%s' % filename).read()) #newfile.file('/tmp/%s' % filename) newfile.date_pub(files['pubdate']) newfile.status('unknown') newfile.download('True') newfile.save() def getLink(self,mfile): m = re.compile(mfile.regex,re.I) feed = self.feed for e in feed.entries: if m.search(e.link): self.fetch.append({'name': mfile.name, 'link': e.link, 'pubdate': e.updated_parsed }) def handle(self, *args, **options): mf = MyFiles.objects.all() # fetch and parse RSS Feed self.feed = feedparser.parse(Feeds.objects.all()[0].rss) self.fetch = [] # Set self.fetch list for s in mf: self.getLink(s) # download, record and save files self.getFiles() But I get the following error when I run it: File "/home/mitch/Projects/meta/Filez/management/commands/files_check.py", line 30, in getFiles newfile.file.save(filename,open('/tmp/%s' % filename).read()) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/db/models/fields/files.py", line 92, in save self.name = self.storage.save(name, content) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/core/files/storage.py", line 48, in save name = self._save(name, content) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/core/files/storage.py", line 168, in _save for chunk in content.chunks(): AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'chunks' Which, from what I've seen... chunks is part of an HTTP POST file object? So... its not supposed to work as command line script? or what am I doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
