Pylons Uploading Distorted Images On Windows

I'm creating an web app in Pylons, and am working on an image upload action. This is currently running using egg:paste#http on my windows machine, in the basic development configu

Solution 1:

You are probably just missing the 'b' (binary) flag for effectively writing the file as binary:

save_file = open(os_path, 'wb')

But I don't see why you need the shutil.copyfileobj call in there, why not do something like this:

file_save_path = os.path.join(config.images_dir, request.POST['image'].filename)
file_contents = request.POST['image'].file.read()

# insert sanity checks here...

save_file = open(file_save_path, 'wb')
save_file.write(file_contents)
save_file.close()

Or make the last three lines a bit more pythonic (making sure the file handle gets closed even if the write fails):

withopen(file_save_path, 'wb') as save_file:
    save_file.write(file_contents)

It's possible you need a

from __future__ import with_statements

at the top of your file if you're below Python 2.6.
