[mod_python] upload file script

Here you go!

Files sent to an Apache server via an HTTP request appear as file-like objects 
to mod_python. They support the read() method to get their contents. Assuming 
you're running the publisher handler, this function can receive the contents 
of a file sent by a user in an HTTP request (where the file's field is named 
"file").

  def getFile(req, file=None):
      if file is None:   # There was no file sent.
          return "Error! There was no file!"
      if type(file) is str:   # File was sent as a regular field, which is 
bad.
          return "Error! File was a string!"
      fileData = file.read()    # Get the file data into a Python variable.
      # ... process file data ...
      return "Ok, file received."

The HTML that calls this function is as follows. Not the enctype attribute of 
the form tag.

  <form action="getFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="file" />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
  </form>



Could someone who knows the FAQ password please add this, if it's useful. 
Thanks.

Mike.
