I propose generic support of `FileSystemStorage.save()`, so `content`
argument can be any object with `read([size])` method.
I see no reason why `FileSystemStorage` does not support regular file-like
objects. IT is common practise to support any file-like objects in python
libraries, where file-like object is an argument.
Blocker of this is `content.chunks()` call which itself is nothing else
then generator over `file.read(chunk_size)`. Storage itself could easily
call `content.read(chunk_size)` directly which grants support to various
file-like objects.
Calls like this are just weird:
{{{
#!python
storage.save(target, File(open(filename)))
}}}
The `File` objects is here only because it has `chunks()` method required
by `FileSystemStorage.save()` call.
I have seen #8204 but I do not require anything so specific. It is just
painful, when you want to use storage for anything else than file from
query or form.
