I got that same problem. it's a bug in the upload object used by cgi.FieldStorage. You can't test it for truth or booleanize it.

Nice to know I'm not alone. Or a really inept programmer.

Instead you can compare it to None:

if self.form_result["myfile"] is not None:

Or you can check if it has an attribute like 'filename', which an actual upload would.

great ideas. much better than my attempts.
