I am using PIL to resize an uploaded file using this method:

def resize_uploaded_image(buf):
  imagefile = StringIO.StringIO(buf.read())
  imageImage = Image.open(imagefile)

  (width, height) = imageImage.size
  (width, height) = scale_dimensions(width, height, longest_side=240)

  resizedImage = imageImage.resize((width, height))
return resizedImage

I then use this method to get the resizedImage in my main view method:

image = request.FILES['avatar']
resizedImage = resize_uploaded_image(image)
content = django.core.files.File(resizedImage)
acc = Account.objects.get(account=request.user)
acc.avatar.save(image.name, content)

However, this gives me the 'read' error.

Trace:

Exception Type: AttributeError at /myapp/editAvatar Exception Value: read

Any idea how to fix this? I have been at it for hours! Thanks!
