Flask: Get the size of request.files object

Question

I want to get the size of uploading image to control if it is greater than max file upload limit. I tried this one:

@app.route(\"/new/photo\",methods=[\"POST         


        

Answer 1

As someone else already suggested, you should use the

app.config['MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH'] 

to restrict file sizes. But Since you specifically want to find out the image size, you can do:

import os
photo_size = os.stat(request.files['post-photo']).st_size
print photo_size
