It worked automatically for me.
Make sure you put enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form definition http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/ Note that request.FILES will only contain data if the request method was POST and the <form> that posted the request has the attribute enctype="multipart/form-data". Otherwise, request.FILES will be empty.
