I'm wondering where you got the idea that your custom handler is a function that goes into your view. From what I'm reading (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#upload-handlers) it looks like a custom handler needs to be a class that implements at least receive_data_chunk(self, raw_data, start) and file_complete(self, file_size).
(As an aside, if you're using Python 2.5 or greater you might consider using the 'with' statement in your handler... <http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/ref/with.html>) Best wishes, Michael A.
