[mod_python] Python started with -U option as an Apache handler

Problem has been solved by having my first bang line in the .py file end
in python -u

	I take it your using FieldStorage class of mod_python correct?
Take a look at the docs should help:
	
	http://modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-util-fstor.html
	
http://modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-util-fstor-fld.html
	
	And since you mention you've used cgi in the past, take note of
the folling in the docs:
	
	"Note: Unlike the standard library cgi module FieldStorage
class, a Field object is returned only when it is a file upload. In all
other cases the return is an instance of StringField. This means that
you do not need to use the .value attribute to access values of fields
in most cases."
	
	I don't use the FieldStorage class, but it looks like you want
form["AFormField"].file

creates a

form["AFormField"].value for a

I will take any

string from the

file as a text
		file rather than a binary file, which is not good.

		I've handled serveral file types in mod_python from
uploaded forms, and
		didn't need anything special set.  If your not getting
the files, check
		that the form has the correct enctype set.  If you are
getting data
		that's incorrect, post some details on how you are
accessing the files
		to the list.
