UPDATE:

See the comment by systempuntoout. The form was missing the submit button. Now it all works.

I have this code that I think would write an image to datastore; but that’s not happenning:

class AvatarSave(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):
        q = User.all()
        q.filter("userEmail =", "az@example.com")
        qTable = q.fetch(10)
        if qTable:
            for row in qTable:
                avatar = images.resize(self.request.get("img"), 32, 32)
                row.avatar = db.Blob(avatar)
                db.put(qTable)
        else:
            self.response.out.write("user not found")

        self.redirect('/')

The log shows the image key:

INFO     2010-12-04 13:56:26,601 dev_appserver.py:3317] "GET /img?
img_id=ag1oZWxsby0xLXdvcmxkcgsLEgRVc2VyGIABDA HTTP/1.1" 200 -

But nothing is displayed except the broken link. What am I missing here? I would appreciate your help. I include the entire script below. Thanks!

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        siteUser = users.get_current_user()
        greeting = None        
        if siteUser:
            greeting = ("Welcome, %s! (<a href=\"%s\">sign out</a>)" %
                    (siteUser.nickname(), users.create_logout_url("/")))
        else:
            greeting = ("<a href=\"%s\">Sign in or register</a>" %
                    users.create_login_url("/"))

        self.response.out.write(greeting)            

        self.response.out.write("""

            <div><input type="file" name="img"/></div>
          </form>
        </body>
      </html>""")

        query = User.all()
        query.filter("userEmail =", "az@example.com")
        query.order("-userScore")
        results = query.fetch(10)

    I think your code is missing the Submit button on the image form submission:

    self.response.out.write("""
          <form action="/avatar-save" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">                
            <div><label>Avatar:</label></div>
            <div><input type="file" name="img"/></div>
            <input type="submit"/>
          </form>...

    I’ve tried your code inferring the User model that you have not reported in the question:

    class User(db.Model):
    userEmail = db.EmailProperty()
    userScore = db.IntegerProperty()
    avatar = db.BlobProperty()

    since your code does not contain the part from creating the user, I have created a user from scratch from the Development interactive console with:

    from main import User
User(userEmail='az@example.com', userScore=1).put()

    then, I’ve logged in with az@example.com and I’ve uploaded the picture.

    This is the result:
    alt text

    All I can say is “it works on my machine”.
