*Description:* Using the *PersistedTemporaryFileUploadHandler* upload handler, Django will write the uploaded file to a temporary file stored in your system's temporary directory, as the *TemporaryFileUploadHandler* already do. However, the file this time will not be suppressed after your first read, and will persist until you delete it.
*PersistedTemporaryFileUploadHandler* class inherit from the *TemporaryFileUploadHandler* class. No big changes, only to set the delete args of the *NamedTemporaryFile *to *False* *Use cases:* - One use case that I personally faced is having many threads reading from the same uploaded file. When one of the threads reads the file content, the file is automatically deleted, and so became unavailable for the other threads. - Another use case was find in a stack overflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11835274/django-control-time-of-temporaryuploadedfile-life/76021825> question, where a user was looking for a way to control the life time of the uploaded file. *N.B:* Even thought it may be easy to forbid the temporary file from being deleted, I think it's a necessary feature or class to have withing the framework as it's a behavior that I would naturally consider available in such a great framework. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
