Hi, I'm trying to save on a FileField some generated data (a text file
obtained from a template):
The relevant code is:
out = Template(open("/path/to/template").read())
context = Context({})
if request.POST["name"] != "":
name = request.POST["name"]
else:
name = "GeneratedDocument_%i" % obj.id
data = out.render(context)
obj.file.save("file",ContentFile(data))
the problem arises with ContentFile(data), if data is just a string like
"a simple string" the everything is correct, but the actual data content
is an unicode string, so raw binary data is saved to the resulting file
instead of the actual text.
Simplifying, what I want is to save the output of a rendered template to
a FileField.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
