You're using the CGI module, but you're not using a CGI script.  The mod_python distribution has a FieldStorage class, but it's (subtly) different from the one in the Python standard 'cgi' module.

import mod_python.util
form = mod_python.util.FieldStorage(req)

Read the docs on that module for more info.
