Reading an Uploaded File in a Django 1.9 Model

[Lior Kofman]

I am very new to Django, but have been using Python since the beginning of the year. I am having trouble opening and reading a text file, and when I use the shell to see what is going on, it prints:

<_io.TextIOWrapper name='edt.txt' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'>

Here is my code:

from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import models

from django.core.files import File

class Medphysics(models.Model):

    with open('edt.txt', mode = 'r') as infile:

        data = infile.read()

        print(data)

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
