RE: [Zope] Upload a Zclass with a script

9 Jul 2001

      Hi
You need to pass a file object back, not a string.. So I just patched up your code to return a StringIO file object ( I have not tried it)

import sys,os,string
from OFS.Image import File

import StringIO     <=======

def get_data:
    file=open('c:\test.txt','rb')

    data= StringIO(file.read()) <=======

    file.close()
    return data

 Probably you can pass the f'le object back as well but then somewhere you have to close it/

 IMHO reading a local file via DTML is not allowed. Best workaround is an
external python method. You need to create a file object since most of the
upload file managers look at the filename / content type etc.

Hi,

I've a Zclass with "File" inheritance
How can i do to upload a file with a script during instanciation (dtml or
python)
trying <dtml-var "REQUEST.set('file','c:\test.txt')">  gives me a instance,
taking  'c:\test.txt' as a string and not as an object

Thanks
