You can define on_cnange method, what would process uploaded file.

<field name="excelfile" on_change="on_file_load(excelfile)"/>

You need to write parsing method in your *.py file

def on_file_load(self, cr, uid, ids, excelfile, context=None):
    #do_something

In this case file would be parsed before you save object.

Have you fixed already this, because this will gives base64 encode file.

Try to use something like that.

excelfile = base64.decodestring(excelfile)

And don't forget make

import base64
Author

I have try

base64.decode(lead.data, open("newcsv.xls", "w")) workbook = xlrd.open_workbook("newcsv.xls")

but got traceback AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'readline'
