To save strings/bytes you need to use ContentFile up to now:
path = default_storage.save('path/to/file', ContentFile(b'new content')) Docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/files/#storage-objects Things would be bit easier, if save() would support strings/bytes directly. This way a developer needs to type and import less code. The implementation would be simple: Storage.save() could check with "isinstance()" if the value needs to be wrapped in ContentFile. Would you accept a patch to Storage.save()? Background: I am writing a unittest which mocked away the storage calls to save() will put the data into the mock. Then I check if the data is the way I want it. Now it gets complicated again: I need to access the data which is inside ContentFile grrr. This would be much easier if you could add strings/bytes to the save() directly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
