Django import export: Error encountered while trying to read file CSV

Hi I have a problem with django import export,

Django==1.8
django-import-export==1.1.0

When I want to import a small csv (1 line) I have directly a blank page with the message

Error encountered while trying to read file: XXX.csv

I see in the network console a POST to http://localhost:8001/admin/XXX/XXX/import/ with a 200 response with this message.

It is the same behavior whatever the model.

Solution

  • The solution is to downgrade tablib to 0.12.1

    Add to requirements: 

    tablib==0.12.1

    See my fix https://github.com/django-import-export/django-import-export/issues/957#issuecomment-496609753
