python - Iterating the streaming_content attribute on django FileResponse -

i'm working on api django rest framework, , i'm writing unit tests check critical operations. i'm trying read contents of file after doing request

downloaded_file = self.client.get(textfile)

the problem object returned of type: django.http.response.fileresponse inherits streaminghttpresponse.

i'm trying iterate on streaming_content attribute, supposedly iterator, cannot iterate, no method next().

i inspected object , map object. ideas on how content request?

edit:

problem solved

the returned object map, map takes function , iterable:

what had cast map list, access first element of list , convert bytes string. not elegant works.

list(response.streaming_content)[0].decode("utf-8")

here how extract content streaming_content map:

content = downloaded_file.getvalue()

looking @ code of getvalue() method, see iterates on answer content:

class streaminghttpresponse(httpresponsebase):     ...     def getvalue(self):         return b''.join(self.streaming_content)
