How to return a file for download from Django?

Question

Django

Hello.
There is a .zip archive in a certain directory, you need to return the file for download when you access the link through the blizzard.
I do this:

def download_file(request):
    response = HttpResponse(open("test.zip"), content_type='application/zip')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=test.zip'
    response['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-zip'
    return response

I get a folder from the archive. I want to get the same .zip archive.
Version - Django 1.9.

response = HttpResponse()
