See the django docs for django.core.files.File

Where fd is an open file object:

model_instance.image_field.save('filename.jpeg', fd.read(), True)

null

If you have to manually temper with files, for example you download an image, this extension may come handy: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19476403/635636 – kecske Jul 17 '14 at 22:29
