This article basically for saving the file from memory to temporary directory in django.

from django.core.files.storage import default_storage
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile

from django.conf import settings

def upload_excel_file(request):

    data = request.FILES['file']
    path = default_storage.save('tmp/' + str(data), ContentFile(data.read()))
    tmp_file_path = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, path)
