No, you have all the information that's required to diagnose what you're doing wrong. ZipFile apparently expects something with a seek() method and HttpResponse doesn't have one (since it outputs content in a linear fashion). You also cannot use HttpResponse as a lawn mower or an a floatation device as it's similarly not appropriate. An HttpResponse is something that is designed to produce a string. That string is sent back to the user. Since ZipFile wants something that acts as a file, you need to turn the HttpResponse into something like that. Try using StringIO.
