Django "Internal Server Error" and "MultiValueDictKeyError" when calling external function - python-3.x

Question

I am running a django project on ubuntu that is supposed to build a website where I can
upload an image
run an external script to modify the image on click when uploaded
The uploading process works fine, but when I try to run the external script I get an the internal server error as seen below.
Is this because of the added b' and \n in the path? If so, how can I solve that, please?
Full Code can be found here https://github.com/hackanons/button-python-click/tree/master/Image%20Edit%20Html%20Button%20Run%20Python%20Script/buttonpython
Thanks a lot for help

Answer 1

The problem is that there is no image file in your request. You need to fix that first, make sure that you are getting what you expect.
You should probably start using forms and calling is_valid to do the check for you. If your request does not have the required fields, it will return an error and validation message.
Your first error happens here:
image=request.FILES['image'] # the 'image' key does not exists so you get KeyError
You can fix this using the .get notation to have a default if it doesn't exist.
image=request.FILES.get('image') # this will not throw an error but have `None` as default
After that change, you have the following:
filename=fs.save(image.name, image) # this throws an error if image is None because you can't do None.name
So now you should check that image is not None, and then continue with your logic, or return a BadRequest error response.
if image is not None:
return HttpResponseBadRequest
# <rest of your code>

The error
Internal Server Error: /external/b'/media/temp.png/n'
was caused by a corrupted path from the stdout Process. I added "universal_newlines=True" from subprocess module and everything works fine.
out= run([sys.executable,'//home//felix//ucmr//button-python-click//Image_Edit_Html_Button_Run_Python_Script//test.py',inp],shell=False,stdout=PIPE,universal_newlines=True)
image= run([sys.executable,'//home//felix//ucmr//button-python-click//Image_Edit_Html_Button_Run_Python_Script//image.py',str(fileurl),str(filename)],shell=False,stdout=PIPE,universal_newlines=True)
