36974	SimpleUploadedFile should support text mode	Denis Washington	Dinesh Thumma	"Currently, `SimpleUploadedFile` requires a bytes-like object to be passed as `content`, and `open()` always returns a `BytesIO`. This makes it useless in contexts where text-mode file-like object is expected. (I hit this issue when trying to pass `file.open()` to `pandas.read_csv()`, for instance.)

It would be great if `SimpleUploadedFile` would alternatively accept a `str`, in which case `open()` would then return a `StringIO` instead."	New feature	closed	File uploads/storage	6.0	Normal	needsnewfeatureprocess			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
