If thats your bag, feel free to use my 'iisUtils' module.

It both has a windows version of Pythons FieldStorage, and a Dict 
version of the Request.

To get FieldStorage:

import iisUtils

fs = iisUtils.winFieldStorage(Request)

<%= fs['somevar'].value%>

This is good because it can handle file uploads. But it's a bother that 
it's not a stright dict for the rest.

So to get Request as a plain dict:

req = iisUtils.request(Request)

<%= req['somevar']%>

etc.

Its documented in the code and works nicely in production code. If there 
are _many_ fields in the form 'request' is faster than 'winFieldStorage'.
