The problem is: "I'm trying to do a file upload from inside a python script 
that takes the file's   PATH   and the target folder object as args."

OK, but I wouldn't have to write a python script if I already had the 
FileUpload object corresponding to the file I want to upload - I could use 
manage_addFile or manage_upload then. I know how to get a FileUpload object 
using a <input type="file">-tag in a dtml-Document.

But I want to do the upload automatically: I have a python script A with a 
list of (PathOfFileToUpload,TargetFolderObject)-pairs which is to call a 
python script B for each item in the list, handing over to it the path of 
the chosen file and the target folder B is supposed to upload the file into? 
I then have to convert the file's path into a FileUpload object first and 
then use manage_upload with it, like

def B(TargetFolderObject,PathOfFileToUpload):
TargetFolderObject.manage_upload(FileUploadObject(PathOfFileToUpload))

So my remaining question is: how do I create a FileUpload object from the 
chosen file's path?

Thanks nevertheless

Horst
