title: File browser with Django and Alfresco
body: <p>I have a Django site and a local install of Alfresco (community edition). One of my model contains a file reference which maps to a document in Alfresco. The view should have a field that spawns a file browser that can access the repository structure within Alfresco so that the user can pick whichever file they want at whichever version.</p>
  
  <p>I looked at the <a href="http://chemistry.apache.org/python/docs/index.html" rel="nofollow">CMSIlib</a> module and it seems to be providing all the interaction I need for the back end code. Although downloading a document seems <a href="http://chemistry.apache.org/python/docs/code.html#cmislib.model.Document.getContentStream" rel="nofollow">clunky</a>.</p>
  
  <p>There are lots of <a href="https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/file-managers/" rel="nofollow">Django file browsers</a> but none seem to interface with <a href="http://chemistry.apache.org/python/docs/index.html" rel="nofollow">CMSIlib</a>.</p>
  
  <p><em>Do I have to code my own or have I missed something?</em></p>
  
  <p>The version is <code>Alfresco Community v5.0.0 (d r99759-b2) schema 8022 Spring Surf and Spring WebScripts - v5.0.0</code>.</p>
