Modifying file extension in django

I'm doing a form to upload some files to my system and then work with it. First, upload the file is working well but when I want to change the extension of my uploaded file crashes.

Below I show my function,

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
import os

def uploadKMZ(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Save the file updated
        uploaded_file = request.FILES['document']
        name = uploaded_file.name
        fs = FileSystemStorage()
        fs.save(uploaded_file.name, uploaded_file)

        # Modify the extension (NOT WORKING)
        thisFile = uploaded_file.name
        name, ext = os.path.splitext(thisFile)
        os.rename(thisFile, name + ".zip")


    return render(request, 'data_app/kmzTemplate.html')

The error is FileNotFoundError, why is not founding it if the file is the same but just changing the extension?

Thank you very much!

Did you try modifying your extension before saving the file?
I didn't try the code below, but if feels more sensible. Try it out.

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
import os

def uploadKMZ(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Save the file updated
        uploaded_file = request.FILES['document']
        name, ext = os.path.splitext(uploaded_file.name)
        new_name = name + '.zip'
        fs = FileSystemStorage()
        fs.save(new_name, uploaded_file) 

    return render(request, 'data_app/kmzTemplate.html')
