[Zope-dev] File input retuns what type?

[Jason Spisak]

I am trying to upload a file into a property.
I am using code that works to update the property:

My form reads <input type="file" name="file" size="25" value=""> pretty
standard fair.

<!--#if "REQUEST.has_key('file')"-->
<!--#call "propetysheets.ResumeProperties.manage_changeProperties(
	      myproperty=REQUEST['file'].read())"-->
<!--#/if-->

But only when creating a ZClass instance I get this traceback:

Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'read'

Traceback (innermost last):
  File /Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module

Doesn't the <input type="file"> return a file object in zope?
The above code works to update the property, why not to create it?
Any ideas?
