His problem is that python 2.2 does not include the __methods__ attribute 
for classes but the publisher.py code which actually handles the file inload 
depends on it. If he downgrades from python 2.2 to python 2.1 he'll have the 
__methods__ attribute of the file class. Someone needs to address this in 
the mod_python code however:

        for m in field.file.__methods__:
            self.__dict__[m] = getattr(field.file, m)

        self.headers = field.headers
        self.filename = field.filename

doesn't work in python 2.2 because __methods__ doesn't exist. The code 
appears to be trying to make local copies of all of the methods in the 
object that gets passed to the user. I had this problem in Unix (FreeBSD) 
two weeks ago and downgrading my python from 2.2 to 2.1 solved it. A google 
search on python, __methods__, 2.1 and 2.2 will yield more information.
