[mod_python] passing parameters from index() to POST method

I'm nut excacly sure what you are trying to achieve.

In your index.py handler you can:

from wifikeys import gen_keys

def handler(req):
	If req.method == "POST":
		gen_keys(parameters here)
	else:
		normal handler code
	retrun apache.OK
