Accessing POST Data from WSGI

Question

I can\'t seem to figure out how to access POST data using WSGI. I tried the example on the wsgi.org website and it didn\'t work. I\'m using Python 3.0 right now. Please don\

Answer 1

body= ''  # b'' for consistency on Python 3.0
try:
    length= int(environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', '0'))
except ValueError:
    length= 0
if length!=0:
    body= environ['wsgi.input'].read(length)

Note that WSGI is not yet fully-specified for Python 3.0, and much of the popular WSGI infrastructure has not been converted (or has been 2to3d, but not properly tested). (Even wsgiref.simple_server won't run.) You're in for a rough time doing WSGI on 3.0 today.
