Comment (by onelson):
This just came up on the mailing list, and as I started to look at the
problem I found the docs in pretty much the same state today (a year on
from the last update).
The required reading to work with file uploads (and File/Image model
fields) is spread around on the following pages:
* http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/file/
* http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/
* http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/
*
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField
If people are happy with the idea of taking the http/file-uploads topic
and expanding there, we can probably reduce the mystery a bit by adding
some additional examples. Personally, when it comes to working with
`models.FileField.save()` directly, my initial stumbling block was I
didn't get that '''`contents`''' argument needed to be an instance of
`django.core.files.File` rather than a regular file object. This is
mentioned quietly.
