filename uploading in django

i have this code, the code is running well but the problem is that it did not get the file name when uploading the file. my code is -

views.py

def upload_file(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file'])
        if 'filename' in request.FILES:
            filename = request.FILES['filename']
        else:
            raise Exception('did not get any name')
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/user_profileform/')
    else:

        form = UploadFileForm()
    return render_to_response('user_profile.html', {'form': form })

def handle_uploaded_file(f):

    destination = open('media/filename', 'wb+')
    for chunk in f.chunks(): 
        destination.write(chunk)
    destination.close()

form is :-

<form action="/user_profileform/" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="uform" id="userform">{% csrf_token %}
{{form}}

<input type="submit" value="submit" name="usubmit">
</form>

the error is :-

did not get any name

You can get filename by this

filename = form.clean_data['file'].name

clean_data can access after form.is_valid() equals True

You can get the name of the uploaded file just by using

filename = request.FILES['filename']

.name is not required. Refer docs for more information.
