web.input() IOError No such file or directory

[David]

whenever i try to get a file with web.input().myfile i get a IOError.

IOErorr: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

i could get the file with web.data() but this way i have the problem that i can't read the file with the xlrd module cause of the header in web.data()

what could be the problem? is there maybe a way to cut the header form web.data()

thanks for help

Can you post more of the code? It's hard to see what's going on from just this

i found out the problem. it was a poblem with my fileystem. the filesystem isn't able to craete unnamed tempfiles (tempfile.TemporaryFile()).
but this feature is used by the FieldStorage class in the cgi module.

i have solved the problem like that:

class MyFieldStorage(cgi.FieldStorage):
    def make_file(self, binary=None):
        return tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()

then i have used the FieldStorage Class native and not throug web.py.
thanks anyway.
