My solution to this Problem was parsing the content with cgi.FieldStorage like:

    # For the parsing part look at [PyMOTW by Doug Hellmann][1]
    img = cgi.FieldStorage(
        fp = request.content,
        headers = self.headers,
        environ = {'REQUEST_METHOD':'POST',
                 'CONTENT_TYPE': self.headers['content-type'],
                 }
    )

    print img["upl_file"].name, img["upl_file"].filename,
    print img["upl_file"].type, img["upl_file"].type
    out = open(img["upl_file"].filename, 'wb')
    out.write(img["upl_file"].value)
    out.close()
    request.redirect('/tests')
    return ''
