Django simple upload function

Question

Getting this error:

Exception Type: AttributeError
Exception Value: 'InMemoryUploadedFile' object has no attribute 'save'

When trying to have a Django function as simple as:

def upload(request):
    file = request.FILES["picture"]
    file.save("hello.png")
    return HttpResponse("done uploading")

Note: I know there is a longer way to make this simple procedure but I need it for now to be as simple as this one

You can read the uploaded file in chunks and write to your desired file, see the documentation for details

def upload(request):
    file = request.FILES['picture']
    with open('hello.png', 'wb+') as destination:
        for chunk in file.chunks():
            destination.write(chunk)
    return HttpResponse('done uploading')
