- get the binary layer of stdout : out = sys.stdout.detach()

You can't do that! That makes sys.stdout unavaible to the program that is importing the cgi module.

Cgi should access and process sys.stdin only, as binary by means of sys.stdin.detach()

The cgi module is used to handle form data and uploaded files. But the resulting page is usually written by the main program or another module, using sys.stdout
