[mod_python] How to read raw post in mod_python?

Thank you very much, for your help, I created a subdirectory with the
following configurations:

SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler index
PythonDebug On

Then I created a file named index.py with the following contents:

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = 'image/jpg'
    req.write(req.read())
    return apache.OK

And managed to write a jpeg wich I posted for testing.

Thank you again and sorry for beeing so extensive in this reply but I just
wanted to send the an working example in the reply for those who need it
later.
