[ckan-dev] Creating resource with upload from an extension

[Jonas Oppenlaender]

Hi Pedro,

You can just pass it an open file pointer, like this:
resource_dict['upload'] = open(‘/path/to/file’, ‘rb’)

If you use an already open file, you might need to reset the current position before calling the API:
existingfilepointer.seek(0)

Regards,
Jonas Oppenlaender

Subject: [ckan-dev] Creating resource with upload from an extension

Hi
I have a custom extension which does some parsing on files and then adds them to the dataset created. How should I use the field upload to pass a file? Any ideas?

resource_dict={}
resource_dict['package_id'] = package_id
resource_dict['upload'] = ????
resource_dict['name'] = 'Product Download'
oi = plugins.toolkit.get_action('resource_create')(context,resource_dict)
