Would like you help on with this file upload issue. I am trying to read the
contents of a file and process it during file upload (without making any
changes to the file). When I try to read the file contents during an upload,
the uploaded file has no contents (it is empty).
See function below and let me know if I am doing anything wrong -
def UploadData():
"""CSV file upload and data processer"""
messg = "File successfully uploaded"
# file uploads
form = SQLFORM(db.mytable,fields=['file',
'filetype'],labels={'file':T('Attach files: '), 'filetype':T('Select File
Type')}, showid=False)
if request.post_vars.file != None:
wells = request.vars.file.file.read()
## do some processing with wells
if form.accepts(request.post_vars):
session.flash=T(messg)
else: response.flash=T("")
return dict(form=form)
