Where does Python look for libraries?

[ACB]

I have been trying to get the gdmodule installed and have run into an issue.
When I import gd I get the following error.

>>> import gd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gd.py", line 10, in ?
import _gd
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2: Undefined symbol "libiconv_open"

But, when I run
nm libiconv.so
in the directory with the iconv library I get an entry like this
00011fe0 T libiconv_open

so I know the functionality is there.  So, my question.  Does python have a 
way to add search directories for locating libraries?

Thanks.

Saving files from post data via sys.stdin

[ACB]

I am rewriting an existing PERL script I wrote several months ago.  It is a 
script that is used as the action for a form containing several type="file" 
inputs.  The script is run unbuffered and writes the data from sys.stdin to 
a file which is stat'ed by another script called asyncornously from 
javascript.  In the end I am able to make a progress bar for file uploads 
via http.

Anyway, I have printed sys.stdin to a file and looked at it afterward.  This 
is what is looks like
-126591649570
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="userid"

myUserid
-126591649570
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ulimage"; filename="bc12.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg

binary data of jpeg
-126591649570
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ulimage"; filename=""
Content-Type: image/jpeg

-126591649570
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ulimage"; filename=""
Content-Type: image/jpeg


-126591649570
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="sessionid"

mySessionid

Normally, I use cgi.FieldStorage() and access the values via calls like
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
sessionid = form["sessionid"].value

What is the best method for accessing the various variables and their 
respective values so I can save the files one at a time?  Is there some 
class that can take this input and make it easier to deal with?  I need to 
save each of the ulimage values as individual images and gain access to the 
values of sessionid and userid.

Thanks
Amy

James,

Thanks for the reply, however... the problem I am having is that I need to 
use the data via sys.stdin and not the cgi.FormStorage object because cgi 
only takes the data after it has all been received.

So, I need a good way to parse the data in sys.stdin unless their is some 
built-in way to do it.

Thanks

I figured it out.  I just used
sys.stdin = file("path/to/file", "r")
and I was again able to read the data from stdin.
