Save deform.FileData schema node as file


My script is exactly as the Deform File Upload Widget example:

@view_config(renderer='templates/form.pt', name='file')
@demonstrate('File Upload Widget')
def file(self):

    class Schema(colander.Schema):
        upload = colander.SchemaNode(
            deform.FileData(),
            widget=deform.widget.FileUploadWidget(tmpstore)
            )

    schema = Schema()
    form = deform.Form(schema, buttons=('submit',))

    return self.render_form(form, success=tmpstore.clear)

the captured upload with test_file.grf is a deform.FileData schema node which looks like:

>> captured['upload']
{'filename': u'test_file.grf',
 'fp': <tempfile._TemporaryFileWrapper object at 0x000000000638A6A0>,
  'mimetype': 'text/plain',
  'preview_url': None,
  'size': -1,
  'uid': '42DXY7DYW3'}

Question

How to save deform.FileData as a file on a specific location?

An attempt is to open and copy the file to location src gave a TypeError:

with open(captured['upload']['fp'], 'r') as f:
    shutil.copyfileobj(f, src)

Solution

  • Solved it simply by binary opening the file:

    with open(src, 'wb') as f:
        f.write(captured['upload']['fp'].read())
