Don't overthink it. It's just like you'd access any request parameter, 
save that it's a Python file-ish object.

Say you did::

<form method="post" action="blerg">
 <input type="file" name="somefile" />
 <input type="text" name="sometext" />
 <input type="submit" />
</form>

Then in 'blerg' (a Python script) you could say::

fileobj = REQUEST.somefile
stringobj = REQUEST.sometext

to get a handle on the parameters. (Or any of the other ways the REQUEST 
object allows access to request parameters.) The only difference is that 
one is a string and one is a FileUpload file-ish object.
