I do not have a complete example for your problem.  But I have this
callcgi.py module that shows a way to call a CGI script from python. 
You would need a way to pass the file to the script so its sent with
POST, not sure how to do that...



----- callcgi.py -----------------------------------------------------

import urllib
import sys


def usage():
    print """
Usage: callcgi.py url_with_cgi_script
If url_with_cgi_script is omitted then
"http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/test.py"
is taken.
"""

# get a fileobject fp for access to the cgi script
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    fp = urllib.urlopen(r'http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/test.py')
else:
    if sys.argv[1][0] in ['-','/','\\']:
        usage()
        sys.exit()
    fp = urllib.urlopen(sys.argv[1])
# read data from the cgi script and put the data in result
n = 0
result = ''
while 1:
    s = fp.read(8192)
    if not s: break
    result = result + s
    n = n + len(s)
fp.close()
# show what happened and show headers
print '----- callcgi.py -----'
print 'copied', n, 'bytes from', fp.url
for k,v in fp.headers.items():
    print k, '=', v
# show the data the cgi script returns
print
print result
