Hi,

in this case the file is completely stored in the database. The idea is not store the file in the database. Is it possible to have "input_csv" only local in the method to have the possibilty to read the content of the file.

thanks

You should add a binary field  to your project model like this:

class MyModule(models.Model):
     _name = 'my.module'
     input_csv = fields.Binary('Select a CSV file:')

Remember to add the field to your XML view file.

Thanks

I'm not absolutely sure I'm quite right about this but you can check addons/base_import/models/base_import.py for more info. There is also a binary field for the imported file so I think you can either inherit from this model or just empty the field after you script is through.
