Django - Get uploaded file type / mimetype

Question

Is there a way to get the content type of an upload file when overwriting the models save method? I have tried this:

def save(self):
    print(self.file.cont

I'm using Django Rest Framework and this is the simplest I could go:

file = request.data.get("file")    # type(file) = 'django.core.files.uploadedfile.InMemoryUploadedFile'
print(file.content_type)

Let's say I have uploaded a JPEG image then my output would be:

image/jpeg
