Hmm, the REQUEST has a FileUpload Object (or something similar) for
each file, this in turn has a member "data", which holds the actual
data. So you could just take that and pass it to a normal python file 
I/O function (I don't know how these are called)...

To examine further members of the Object you could do something like

for member in dir(REQUEST['name_of_fileinput']):
	print member
return printed
