Hi,

If you only want to save the content "as is" to a model - just use the FileField on the model. See here:


You can then also use different types of storage backends to save the file to either the server itself or to the cloud (Amazon S3 for example). See:


If you want to unzip the contents and save each file seperately, that is also possible - but will require more work from your part. You can easily unzip a file with the zipfile module:

Hope some of that helps,

Regards,

Andréas

You can use a package like requests for that. See http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/

You will there be able to download it to a temp directory and then add use it to connect to your model.
