I am trying to catch a file sent with form and perform some operations on it before it will be saved. So I need to create a copy of this file in temp directory, but I don't know how to reach it. Shutil's functions fail to copy this file, since there is no path to it. So is there a way to do this operation in some other way ?
My code :
image = form.cleaned_data['image']
temp = os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, 'tmp')
sourceFile = image.name # without .name here it wasn't working either
import shutil
shutil.copy(sourceFile, temp)
Which raises :
Exception Type: IOError at /
Exception Value: (2, 'No such file or directory')
And the debug :
# (..)\views.py in function
67. sourceFile = image.name
68. import shutil
69. shutil.copy2(sourceFile, temp) ...
# (..)\Python26\lib\shutil.py in copy2
92. """Copy data and all stat info ("cp -p src dst").
93.
94. The destination may be a directory.
95.
96. """
97. if os.path.isdir(dst):
98. dst = os.path.join(dst, os.path.basename(src))
99. copyfile(src, dst) ...
100. copystat(src, dst)
101.

46. if _samefile(src, dst):
47. raise Error, "`%s` and `%s` are the same file" % (src, dst)

49. fsrc = None
50. fdst = None
51. try:
52. fsrc = open(src, 'rb') ...
53. fdst = open(dst, 'wb')
54. copyfileobj(fsrc, fdst)
55. finally:
56. if fdst:
57. fdst.close()
58. if fsrc:

This is similar question, it might help.
