What sort of POST request data is it? If it is either of the standard forms:

  application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  multipart/* (eg. multipart/mixed)

you can use the FieldStorage class included with mod_python. See the
documentation for details.

Also look at the parse_qs() functions in documentation as well.
