What does not work? Does it produce an error? traceback. I *think* you have to read the stud object you get from REQUEST. You best check how OSF/Image.py does handle this. Robert garry saddington wrote:

I have a form which uploads a file called students.csv and i want to feed this file into an external method. As far as I have got is below - this is the contents of the external method, can anyone help correct this as it does not work. Hopefully it should read a .csv file, output a dictionary and feed this to the ZSQL method writestudents.

## Script (Python) "handlestudents" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters=REQUEST ##title= ##

def students(self,REQUEST): import csv stud=REQUEST.form["students.csv"] fieldnames=["firsname","surname", "year", "form","gender"] reader = csv.DictReader(stud,fieldnames) for row in reader: self.writestudents(row)
