I am using Python 3 and Django 1.8.

When we upload files. Before you save the file, I can read csv file. And the csv file to see.

def index(request):
    if request.POST and request.FILES:
        csvfile = request.FILES['csv_file']
        dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff(codecs.EncodedFile(csvfile, "utf-8").read(1024))
        csvfile.open()
        reader = csv.reader(codecs.EncodedFile(csvfile, "utf-8"), delimiter=',', dialect=dialect)

    return render(request, "index.html", locals())

The third line gives the following error:

cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

You'll want to decode the bytes object to use it as a string: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/606191/convert-bytes-to-a-python-string – Christopher Mallon May 18 '17 at 18:15
