django csv file upload managing

django, javascript, jquery, python, python-3.x

Solution

Using codec.iterdecode, i solved it.I think this is due to python 3.x

import codecs

def createlist(request):
    if request.method == "POST":    
        fil =  request.FILES['ListFile']
        csvfile = csv.DictReader(codecs.iterdecode(fil, 'utf-8'))
        for i in csv_file:
            print(i)
    return HttpResponse("ok")

Problem

``` def createlist(request): if request.method == 'POST': files = request.FILES['ListFile'] print(type(files)) csv_file = csv.DictReader(files) for i in csv_file: print(i) return HttpResponse("ok") ``` This gives class 'django.core.files.uploadedfile.InMemoryUploadedFile' _csv.Error: iterator should return strings, not bytes (did you open the file in text mode?) Here i post this file using ajax js: ``` $('#form1').ajaxForm(function(data) { alert(data) ; }); ```
