To create a file and save it to a model’s FileField with Python Django, we can open the file with open.
And then we can call save with the file.
For instance, we write
from django.core.files.base import File
with open('/path/to/file') as f:
self.license_file.save(new_name, File(f))
to open the file at the given path with open.
Then we create File object with file handle f.
And then we call save with the file name and the File object we created.
We can also use ContentFile if we want to create a file without opening a file.
For instance, we write
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile
self.license_file.save(new_name, ContentFile('A string with the file content'))
to create a ContentFile with a string and save it by calling save with the file name and the ContentFile.
