Little error in "the file object" documentation

[tyrion.mx@…]

In the File object documentation ( ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/#the-file-object ) it says I can access any attribute documented in the File object ( ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/file/#ref-files-file ). But for example the url attribute isn't always accessible. I think the doc should be corrected removing the sentence "Now you can use any of the File attributes and methods documented in The File object."

Accepted, but I don't think it's quite the problem you describe. The issue seems to be that the documentation for the django.core.files.File object includes attributes that are only available on django.db.fields.files.FieldFile (in particular, url, path and size). There is definitely some cleaning up required here.

(In [14834]) [1.2.X] Fixed #13162 and #11597 -- Improved the file handling documentation: Removed documentation of methods on django.core.files.File that did not exist, added documentation for undocumented methods and attributes that did exist, did a general cleanup of the text and organization, and added more metadata targets. Thanks to amenasse and tyrion.mx for the reports.

Backport of [14833] from trunk.
