Django code to read uploaded CSV file

template.html

<form action="{% url %}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}

    <input type="file" name="csv_file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload" />

</form>

views.py

def index(request):
    if request.POST and request.FILES:
        csvfile = request.FILES['csv_file']
        dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff(codecs.EncodedFile(csvfile, "utf-8").read(1024))
        csvfile.open()
        reader = csv.reader(codecs.EncodedFile(csvfile, "utf-8"), delimiter=',', dialect=dialect)

    return render(request, "index.html", locals())

Tried this, but using "import csv" caused ALL links to views in that views.py file to be treated as download links (i.e. clicking on a link that corresponds to a view in that views.py file results in the HTML code for that view to be downloaded).

@lopezayl
Not sure if that will be the case, but if that really happens you have to "import csv" from within the views.
