I've been trying to work out the 'best practices' way to manage file uploads with Turbogears 2 and have thus far not really found any examples. I've figured out a way to actually upload the file, but I'm not sure how reliable it us.

Also, what would be a good way to get the uploaded files name?

    file = request.POST['file']
    permanent_file = open(os.path.join(asset_dirname,
        file.filename.lstrip(os.sep)), 'w')
    shutil.copyfileobj(file.file, permanent_file)
    file.file.close()
    this_file = self.request.params["file"].filename 
    permanent_file.close()

So assuming I'm understanding correctly, would something like this avoid the core 'naming' problem? id = UUID.

    file = request.POST['file']
    permanent_file = open(os.path.join(asset_dirname,
        id.lstrip(os.sep)), 'w')
    shutil.copyfileobj(file.file, permanent_file)
    file.file.close()
    this_file = file.filename
    permanent_file.close()
