ok I can use cStringIO for it but my real problem is how to attach
file in emailmessage??
response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;
filename=report1.pdf'
buffer = StringIO()
p = canvas.Canvas(buffer)
pdf = buffer.getvalue()
buffer.close()
response.write(pdf)
-------------------------------------
attach = pdf
mail = EmailMessage(subject, message, sender,[send_to])
mail.attach(attach.name, attach.read(), attach.content_type)
mail.send()
this will give me error saying object has no attribute 'name'.
Thanks.
