<http://docs.python.org/library/bz2.html#module-bz2>or http://docs.python.org/library/gzip.html#module-gzip But basically you should import the compress function from the library and use it. <http://docs.python.org/library/gzip.html#module-gzip>from bz2 import compress [...] def handle_uploaded_subtitles(self, files): for file in files: sub_file = SubtitleFile(file_name=file.name, etc) bz_file = compress(file) sub_file.file.save(file.name, bz_file) Regards, On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 7:36 PM, Daniel Gerzo <dge...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I am uploading some text files through django (using a form FileField), and > I am getting InMemoryUploadedFile objects this way.
