Now *that* gave me something that *looks* a lot more like an image from a
programmers perspective, but still no image...
ÿØÿàJFIF...
Actually, it does not copy and paste well, but you can see it for the moment
here:

So, how do I convert *that* to a real live image?

Printed nothing.

No clue  :/

BTW, for purposes of documentation, it appears that, when sending the form
with the image to the script that processes the form, the following is
inadvisable:

  form = cgi.FieldStorage()
  pic1 = form.getfirst('pic1', '')

This appears to work better:

  form = cgi.FieldStorage()
  imgfile=open("pixel.gif",'rb')
  pixel = imgfile.read()
  pic1 = form.getfirst('pic1', pixel)

because it gives a binary default. The string appears to screw things up.
