Correction: request.FILES does exist -- it just wasn't getting printed
out with "print request". An explicit "print request.FILES" did the
trick.
However, my question still stands: is form.save(commit=False) supposed
to be writing the file out to disk? Is this the newforms way of
handling uploads, and therefore is checking for request.FILES and
writing the file out ourselves passé?
