[mod_python] When trying to get cgi.FieldStorage() : AttributeError: 'sys' module has no attribute 'argv'

Hi, I found a message in an archive saying I shouldn't use
FieldStorage with publisher
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2001-January/001086.html
but I'm not using publisher (or I don't know I am)
Any idea what's happening ?

Thanks
Alain

=========== observer_www.py
import cgi
items=cgi.FieldStorage()
