  1. I've figured it out myself.

xml:

<form class="o_form_binary_form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/my/order/excel/uploaded">

    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" t-att-value="request.csrf_token()"/>

    <label class="control-label" for="file">File:</label>

    <input accept="xls, .xlsx" class="o_input_file" type="file" name="file"/>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary pull-left">Submit</button>

</form>


python controller:


from xlrd import open_workbook

@http.route(['/my/order/excel/uploaded'], type='http', auth="user", website=True)

def portal_create_order_excel(self, file):

    excel_data = file.read()

    book = open_workbook(file_contents=excel_data)

    sheet = book.sheets()[0]

     for i in range(sheet.nrows):

        // do what you do
