python - Django REST serializer not working with files -

for example have following in models.py:

def upload_attachments(filename):     return '/logos/%y/%m_%d/{}'.format(filename) # well, not exactly, close  class client(models.model):     name = models.charfield(unique=true, max_length=255)     logo = models.imagefield(upload_to=upload_attachments) 

serializer model way:

class clientserializer(serializers.modelserializer):      class meta:         model = client         fields = (             'name',             'logo'         ) 

the view, working model:

@renderer_classes((jsonrenderer,)) @parser_classes((formparser, multipartparser)) class clientview(apiview):  def post(self, request, domain=none):     data = request.data.get('data', none)    serializer = clientserializer(data=data, files=request.files.get('file', none))     if serializer.is_valid():       serializer.save()       return response(utils.ok, status=status.http_201_created)    return response({'error': serializer.errors}, status=status.http_400_bad_request) 

i send form post key file containing logo.png file , key data containing json. either no arguement files although there many examples on net of working , if leave out file (although should it) - error data being unicode, not dict , if wrap data json.loads() - there "too many values unpack".

update: found problem data. easy actually:

   data = request.data.get('data', none)    data = data.get('data', none) # roughly, sure prettyfied    serializer = clientserializer(data=data, files=request.files.get('file', none)) 

the problem file still stands.

well, 'ol debug helped find problem code. here final variant:

data = json.loads(request.data.get('data', none)) data = data.get('data', none) data['logo']=request.files.get('file', none) serializer = clientserializer(data=data)     if serializer.is_valid():     serializer.save()     return response(utils.ok, status=status.http_201_created) 

this still bit clumsy, working chunk of code.
