Accessing POST Data from WSGI

by

Assuming you are trying to get just the POST data into a FieldStorage object:

# env is the environment handed to you by the WSGI server.
# I am removing the query string from the env before passing it to the
# FieldStorage so we only have POST data in there.
post_env = env.copy()
post_env['QUERY_STRING'] = ''
post = cgi.FieldStorage(
    fp=env['wsgi.input'],
    environ=post_env,
    keep_blank_values=True
)
