'float' object has no attribute 'split'

[anonymous]

This is actually a ticket just to give a pointer to the root cause, which is a bug in python's email module, which Django uses to parse multi-part form uploads.

The ​python bug has a patch on it.

Here's the traceback:

 File "/pegasus/code/current/django/utils/httpwrappers.py", line 46,
in parse_file_upload
  name_dict = parse_header(submessage['Content-Disposition'])[1]

 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/cgi.py", line 331, in parse_header
  plist = map(lambda x: x.strip(), line.split(';'))

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

The Python bug referenced has been marked private, so now we have even less information than before to understand what's going on here. If this problem is still a problem, can somebody reopen with (a) a title that is a bit more explanatory, (b) an explanation of what the problem is and how to repeat it.

Your problem occurs inside urllib.urlopen(someurl) in your own code, so it's completely unrelated to Django, let alone to the ticket you reopened.

This tracker is not the right place to discuss Python usage problems. Please ask such questions in a Python developers forum / chat instead.

PS: my guess is that someurl is None.
