I recently implemented this using a third party library which in turn proved to be more beneficial than expected, and made things very flexible & effortless. The implementation did not take more than 2 hours (installation + integration into project + interaction with my existing model-structure). I would highly recommend this library:
Library Name : django-ajax-uploader Link to Github : https://github.com/GoodCloud/django-ajax-uploader PS: It also tackles that annoying 'POST FILES via AJAX' issue as it does use AJAX! Cheers!
