django-downloadview makes it easy to serve files with Django_:

you manage files with Django (permissions, filters, generation, ...);
files are stored somewhere or generated somehow (local filesystem, remote storage, memory...);
django-downloadview helps you stream the files with very little code;
django-downloadview helps you improve performances with reverse proxies, via mechanisms such as Nginx's X-Accel or Apache's X-Sendfile.

Example

Let's serve a file stored in a file field of some model:

.. code:: python

from django.conf.urls import url, url_patterns from django_downloadview import ObjectDownloadView from demoproject.download.models import Document # A model with a FileField

ObjectDownloadView inherits from django.views.generic.BaseDetailView.

download = ObjectDownloadView.as_view(model=Document, file_field='file')

urlpatterns = ('', url('^download/(?P[A-Za-z0-9-]+)/$', download, name='download'), )
