How to change the file name of an uploaded file in Django

Question

Is it possible to change the file name of an uploaded file in django? 

My requirement is whenever a file is uploaded its file name should be changed in the following format.

format = userid + transaction_uuid + file_extension.

Hello @kartik,

The basic way is

import os

os.rename('a.txt', 'b.html')

For your situation, it would probably look like

os.rename ("a.txt", "{id}{uuid}.{ext}".format(id=userid, uuid=transaction_uuid, ext=file_extension))

Hope it works!!
