This looks to have been an issue with cStringIO. If I import StringIO instead it seems to work, but only after I create the object. I'd really like to do this:
test = PdfFile(business=business1, pdf = f, created = datetime.now()) test.save() however I get this traceback:http://dpaste.com/hold/97272/ I tried to add a name to f with f.name = 'test.pdf' and I get: In [21]: f.name = 'test.pdf' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) AttributeError: can't set attribute If I were able to set a name I would be able to create the PdfFile object with the pdf included (which was my ultimate goal) However with the current solution I can create the object without the pdf then add it directly after...
