file uploader

[Sick Monkey]

Hey guys.  I wanted to write a little desktop application that would upload
files to an external server, to a specific directory.

The desktop application is running on Mac OS X and I built a .psp script
that is running on a Red Hat server.
NOTE:  This application is written for Python 2.5 (both py and psp)

My code is giving me problems, in that it is overwriting files.  I was
wondering if anyone knew of a module or a method that would overcome this
dilemma.   I can adapt my program to search to see if the file existed
already in the directory and append a random string sequence to keep this
from occurring, but I do not want to reinvent the wheel (if such a thing
exists) and that would clutter up my program.  :)

Here is what I am currently using:

 fname = os.path.basename(uploadFile.filename)
 dir_path = "/u01"
 open(os.path.join(dir_path, fname), 'wb').write(uploadFile.file.read())

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
