I am trying to catch a file sent through a form and perform operations on it before saving so I need to create a copy in the temp directory, but I don't know how to reach it. Shutil's functions fail to copy this file since there is no path to it. How can I do this? My code: image = form.cleaned_data['image'] temp = os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, 'tmp') sourceFile = image.name # without .name here it wasn't working either import shutil shutil.copy(sourceFile, temp) Which raises: Exception Type: IOError at / Exception Value: (2, 'No such file or directory') Debug: # (..)\views.py in function 67. sourceFile = image.name 68. import shutil 69. shutil.copy2(sourceFile, temp) ... # (..)\Python26\lib\shutil.py in copy2 92. """Copy data and all stat info ("cp -p src dst"). 93. 94. The destination may be a directory. 95. 96.
