How to get file uploading to work in cgi?

[Tyler Eaves]

Here is my code:

if formokay==1:
    thefilename=''
    theauthor=form['author'].value
    print theauthor
    for x in string.split(theauthor)[:]:
        thefilename=thefilename+string.lower(x)
    thefilename=thefilename+form['filename'].value+'.rcd'

out=open('/home/ultracoa/ultracoastercentral-www/'+thefilename,'wb')
    track=form['thetrack']
    print track
    out.write(track.file.read())
    out.flush()
    out.close()

here's the problem.
In my form I used: <INPUT TYPE="FILE">
But how come it returns the file name?

Here is a sample trace back (I have sys.stderr redirect to stdout)

test Tyler Eaves MiniFieldStorage('thetrack', 'C:\\Program
Files\\Reactor Software\\Ultra Coaster\\coasters\\darkabyss.rcd')
Traceback (innermost last): File "uccsubmit.py", line 37, in ?
out.write(track.file.read()) AttributeError: 'None' object has no
attribute 'read' 


If anyone wants to see the form, it is at

Also, because I was bored, I changed my whole website to a Python CGI
:)
