Hello AT,
Thanks for your suggestion but I cannot do it this way because I can only developpe with the built-in server. So that's why I was trying to to send it through response. Do you have a suggestion for that?
Thanks again,

    You should serve your files directly through the server
    (preferably not the built-in django development server), instead
    of writing a django view.

    Use nginx[1], apache[2] or any other server, then place the excel
    file in a directory outside of your django app, and write an alias
    to that location.


    Cheers,

        Good day everyone,

        I'm trying to allow a user to dowload to his machine an excel file
        from the server. This is my code:

           wrapper      = FileWrapper(open(path_to_file))
           content_type = mimetypes.guess_type(path_to_file)[0]
           response     = HttpResponse(wrapper,content_type=content_type)
           response['Content-Length']      =
        os.path.getsize(path_to_file)
           response['Content-Disposition'] = "attachment; filename=
        %s"%file_name
           response['X-Sendfile'] = smart_str(path_to_file)
           return response

        But when I do that I get the "save as" window poping out. I choose
        where to put my file. Once this is done and the file
        downloaded, when
        I try to open it, it's like I get all the excel file in on
        sheet names
        as the file. So how can I download the file? What am I doing
        wrong?

        Thanks,
