  Well, I don't know if anybody else has answered you yet, but you could
take a look at threading.  Something like...

import thread
<code>
def UploadStuff(file, form, server):
    thread.start_new_thread(UploadFile, (file, server))
    thread.start_new_thread(UploadForm, (form, server))
def UploadFile(file, server):
    <upload file to server...>
def UploadForm(file, server):
    <upload form to server...>

  As you can probably tell, I am not fluent in CGI - yet.  But I think this
should work if the server supports multiple connections from the same IP
address.

  Hope that helps,
  Glen.
