and I'm sorry for not noticing the error: os.path.getsize takes a filename,
but the file attribute contains a file handle, and that UnicodeError is what
you get if you pass the wrong thing to os.path.getsize. e.g:
>>> os.path.getsize(None) < 1000
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python23\lib\ntpath.py", line 228, in getsize
return os.stat(filename).st_size
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
(here, the full traceback reveals that the problem is inside getsize, and not
in the comparision. the error message itself isn't exactly helpful, though...)
the file handle is usually a real (but temporary) file, so you should be able to
get the size by seeking to the end of the file:
file = params["upfile"].file
file.seek(0, 2)
size = file.tell()
file.seek(0) # rewind
inspecting the headers attribute might also help.
