cgi module question

[Jeff Shipman]

Whew. Thanks for telling me about StringIO! I
was getting ready to open pipes and stuff...

Just to make sure, this is the code I'm using.
Please tell me if I'm making any incorrect
assumptions:

# Grab query string and process form
if os.environ['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST':
    qs = sys.stdin.readline()
    sio = StringIO.StringIO(qs)
    form = cgi.FieldStorage(sio)
    sio.close()
else:
    qs = os.environ['QUERY_STRING']
    form = cgi.FieldStorage()


Thanks again.
