Django import csv HTML

hi im currently try to import a csv file into a django project with out using the django admin. the code ive written seems to work when in python run but im unsure about how to build the html template as i cant seem to find any examples. Is anyone able to either post an example or point me in the right direction

my code is

Forms

class DataInput(forms.Form):
    file = forms.FileField()


def save(self):
    records = csv.reader(self.cleaned_data["file"])
    for line in records:
        parts = Part()
        parts.supplier_id = line[0]
        parts.name = line[1]
        parts.description = line[2]
        parts.save()

view

def csv_import(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = DataInput(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            success = True
            context = {"form": form, "success": success}
            return render_to_response("imported.html", context,
            context_instance=RequestContext(request))
    else:
        form = DataInput()
        context = {"form": form}
        return render_to_response("imported.html", context,
        context_instance=RequestContext(request))

thanks in advance

Your upload template will look something like this if you just want to use the default form rendering:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    ...

    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action=".">
        {{ form }}
    </form>

    ...
</html>

The distinguishing part is the enctype="multipart/form-data" that lets it handle the file upload field.
