I am trying to save an image file through django shell.
My model.py
is:
class user(models.Model):
name=models.CharField(max_length=20)
pic=models.ImageField()
Everyhing is fine with admin and forms but I want to save image using shell:
something like
>>>user1=User(name='abc', pic="what to write here")
from django.core.files import File
user1=User(name='abc')
user1.pic.save('abc.png', File(open('/tmp/pic.png', 'r')))
You will end up with the image abc.png
copied into the upload_to
directory
specified in the ImageField
.
In this case, the user1.pic.save
method will also save the user1
instance.
The documentation for saving an ImageField
can be found here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/file/
from django.core.files import File
user1=User(name='abc')
user1.pic.save('abc.png', File(open('/tmp/pic.png', 'rb')))
Please Use 'rb' instead of 'r'. If you are using python3.
