Get file content for further processing?

Question

Flask

Hello!
Started learning flask microframework in python.
The problem arose when uploading a file, I found only information on how to save it to a directory:

f = request.files['file']<br>
f.save('data/structure.txt')<br>

But how to read it, no.
As a consequence, there are two options:
1. Is it possible to get data from a file without saving?
2. Or do you need to save, and only then read it?

Answer 1

Have you tried just read?

f.read()

Answer 2

On the subject: the flask-uploads extension makes it very easy to work with uploaded files - it checks extensions, size, makes names safe, automatically puts them in the right directories.
