You can not do what you are trying to do, the way you are doing it ;-)
The problem is the 'test_name' does not refer to the data on the
instance. It just evaluates to the local variable.
That means you are constructing that upload_to string at import time.
It is the equivalent of doing:
foo = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
class TestDetail(models.Model):
test_name = foo
python_file = models.File("Python File", upload_to = 'tests/' +
str(foo) + '/')
In other words, you can not just have the FileField use data from the
particular TestDetail instance.
To get around this, you need to create a new type of FileField. An
example of doing exactly this can be found here:
https://pycon.coderanger.net/browser/django/trunk/pycon/schedule/models.py#L256
NOTE: this is not the best example, and it hard codes using the id of
a relation instead of being able to supply a field name, and it also
has the limitation of being old-form specific.
Hopefully someone else will be able to explain things better than I
have.
