Comment:
I've just attached a slightly modified version of the FileField/ImageField
patch. This version of the patch:
- Modifies forms to take a "files" argument, for storage of file data.
This means you no longer have to copy and update your POST dictionary on
submit. You just call MyForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
- Introduces an "UploadedFile" temporary object to store the submitted
file data.
- Modifies the internals of the form_for_model/instance save method to
make field saving more generic, rather than making a special case of
FileField. This should make writing custom fields with unusual save
requirements much easier.
This patch now has 2 potential backwards incompatibilities:
1. If you are relying upon auto_id being the 2nd argument on a form
(rather than explicitly naming auto_id=False), your rendered forms will
start adding label tags.
1. If you have written any custom code using value_from_datadict, you
will need to modify those implementations to handle the new files
argument.
