The reason Django displays <omitted> there is because most files are not
just a few bytes long. If we displayed the tens, hundreds or thousands
of kilobytes of data in the file content, it would completely swamp the
printed output. So we omit the content from the printed output.
If you actually look inside the dictionary, you'll see that the
"content" attribute has plenty of data there.
