A little late, but as promised, I've bundled the code I'm using for handling large file uploads in my application. It's a bit of a cheat -- it actually uses a CGI for handling the actual upload and requires an embedded iframe to make things work quite right. But it has the following features:
* Low memory footprint uploads for large files -- uploaded content is written to the disk in blocks * Progress reporting, including percent completed, via a JSON interface * A few template tags for auto-magically creating the iframe and its contents. And it has the following caveats: * It requires a "real" webserver, and won't work with only the Django dev server * It's not a ready-made solution: it requires integration work. If you don't like writing custom manipulators, this code isn't for you. The package, available at http://projects.yergler.net/basket/upload-support.zip, is the Django application which provides the JSON views and template tags. There's a somewhat-incomplete README in the package, and an examples directory. The examples directory contains two files of interest: forms.py and upload.html. forms.py is an example of how I use the upload support in my application to complete the submission. upload.html is an example of a template which uses the upload support. Note that the UI is currently based on the Yahoo UI Library. Feel free to email questions, and I'll answer as well as I can. I don't see this as a particularly long-lived project, because I expect that the Django developers will support large file uploads eventually, at which point the need for this will go away.
