When the file is sent with a HTML form, then sending is done
by the browser and not any Python...

Alternatively, you can use ZClient ("ZPublisher.Client"),
XML-RPC, FTP, WebDAV to "send" files to Zope.

The same way, you get files into Zope, you can get them out
again, e.g.

    HTML ("ZPublisher.Client", "httplib", "urllib"),
    FTP, XML-RPC, WebDAV
