Currently, `SimpleUploadedFile` requires a bytes-like object to be passed
as `content`, and `open()` always returns a `BytesIO`. This makes it
useless in contexts where text-mode file-like object is expected. (I hit
this issue when trying to pass `file.open()` to `pandas.read_csv()`, for
instance.)

It would be great if `SimpleUploadedFile` would alternatively accept a
`str`, in which case `open()` would then return a `StringIO` instead.

Comment:

I'm not 100% sure what involvement would be required to move this forward,
but I do think it's a valid and valuable addition to the overall codebase
and support. I'll mark the triage status as approved because this seems
like a clear addition.

Comment:

Elias, the next steps box earlier on this page advises to give a second
opinion when accepting if the subject is debatable in any form. The second
opinion you've given is vague: "valid, valuable, clear addition". That's
not helpful.

You should stop contributing low-quality triage.

Comment:

Thanks for the idea. When suggesting a new feature for Django, the feature
idea should first be proposed and discussed with the community. To do
that, please raise this on the [https://github.com/django/new-
features/issues ​new feature tracker].

I'll close the ticket for now, but if the community agrees with the
proposal, please return to this ticket and reference the forum discussion
so we can re-open it. For more information, please refer to
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
features/#requesting-features the documented guidelines for requesting
features].
