Here is simple example of working file uploads (using publisher
handler).

Tested on FreeBSD 4.9 (i've also tested similar code on win32 several weeks ago):
  Apache 2.0.48,
  mod_python 3.1.3 (+ mentioned patch by David Fraser),
  Python 2.3.3

= 8< ======== .htaccess =========================
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On
= >8 ============================================

= 8< ======== index.py ==========================
html = """
<html><body>
<form action="upload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="fileupload"/>
  <input type="submit" value="Upload!">
</form>
</body></html>
"""

def index(req):
    return html

def upload(req):
    fp = req.form['fileupload'].file
    return type(fp)

= >8 ============================================

Output:

<type 'file'>

Hope this help.
