[mod_python] Is this related to not having support to upload afile?

BTW, if you can't modify the source code, for example it is on an ISPs
box, instead add the following at the start of your published code file
where you want to use a form upload. Note that this is a mega hack as
you are patching mod_python on the fly and change may affect other users
if you get it wrong.

from mod_python import apache

# Don't use import to avoid bug in mod_python.
_publisher = apache.import_module("mod_python.publisher")

class _MyHackFileClass:
    """ Like a file, but also has headers and filename
    """

    def __init__(self, field):

        # steal all the file-like methods
        #for m in field.file.__methods__:
        #    self.__dict__[m] = getattr(field.file, m)

        for k in field.file.__dict__:
            if k[:2] != '__':
                v = getattr(field.file, k)
                if callable(v):
                    self.__dict__[k] = v

        self.headers = field.headers
        self.filename = field.filename

_publisher.File = _MyHackFileClass

# Now comes your original code.
