Let me guess : your cgi script is running on *n*x ?-)

Probably.

 >>> fnames = "C:\\dir\\data.ext", "/dir/data.txt", "dir:data"
 >>> import ntpath, posixpath, macpath
 >>> def basename(filename):
...     for m in ntpath, posixpath, macpath:
...             if m.sep in filename:
...                     return m.basename(filename)
...     else:
...             # XXX
...             raise SomeException('could not do the job')
...
 >>> for f in fnames:
...     print f, basename(f)
...
C:\dir\data.ext data.ext
/dir/data.txt data.txt
dir:data data
 >>>

Might need some improvements, but you get the idea...
