How to read an uploaded file in Google App Engine [closed]

Question

Hi I have another question in app engine. You have one form where there's one field for file upload, I need to read the uploaded file, validate it and store it into the datastore.

My question is how can I read the uploaded file?

In django I would have used request.FILES, in GAE is there anything of that sort?

I'd appreciate any help on this

this question has been answered in Upload files in Google App Engine

the google app engine documents also explain it. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/images/usingimages.html#Uploading

In brief, you just need to use self.request.get('name_of_file_in_the_input_form')
