How should I go about creating a potentially large xlsx file download? I'm creating a xlsx file with pandas from a list of dictionaries and now need to give the user possibility to download it. The list is in a variable and is not allowed to be saved locally (on server).
Example:
df = pandas.DataFrame(self.csvdict)
writer = pandas.ExcelWriter('pandas_simple.xlsx', engine='xlsxwriter')
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name='Sheet1')
writer.save()
This example would just create the file and save it where the executing script is located. What I need is to create it to a http response so that the user would get a download prompt.
I have found a few posts about doing this for a xlsxwriter but non for pandas. I also think that I should be using 'StreamingHttpResponse' for this and not a 'HttpResponse'.
