Andreas, I used what you recommended but now when I try to view the uploaded file it comes up blank. Is there a step that I am not doing? spaceAvail = context.Availability() data = file.read() fileSize = len(data) fileSize = (fileSize/1024)/1024 if spaceAvail < 80: if fileSize < 30: sizeTest = context.getDirectories('/var/www/html/da') if sizeTest > 900: message = 'Failure: No available disk space, see system administrator' return ('failure', new_context,{'portal_status_message':message}) else: test = new_context.manage_editPloneExternalFile(title = title,file = file,REQUEST = REQUEST) if not test: return ('success', new_context,{'portal_status_message':context.REQUEST.get('portal_status_ message', 'Content updated.')}) else: return ('failure', new_context,{'portal_status_message':test}) else: errormsg = 'Failure: File exceeds size limitation of 30MB' return ('failure', new_context,{'portal_status_message':fileSize}) else: errormsg2 = 'Failure: No disk space available in /var directory' return ('failure', new_context,{'portal_status_message':errormsg2}) Thank You, Laura -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Jung [mailto:lists@andreas-jung.com] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 11:16 AM To: Laura McCord; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Python question --On Montag, 8.

I am writing a Python Script and I am trying to get the size of an uploaded file. Does anyone know what I should use? I thought that I could use len() but I was getting an error using it.

data = uploaded_file.read() print len(data) *must* work. -aj
