Ok. Just in case anyone else does something silly like I did here is what I learned. (redundant info for many, sorry ;) ) 1. mod_python.publisher ingests form args into a FieldStorage( ) object stuffed into req.form on either form method, post or get. 2. If you use the form method post, formdata = mod_python.util.FieldStorage(req) will return empty. 3. If you use the form method get, formdata = mod_python.util.FieldStorage(req) will return with values, as will req.form. However, file upload form fields return as StringField objects that are the string version of the filename instead of the file object. Duh! 4. It is better to do it right and use post, and req.form Thanks, Bram Swenson.
