Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
print("Content-type: text/html")
print("")
print("<html>")
print("<body>")
print( "GET / POST Information")
print("<pre>")
print "Request method: " , os.environ[ 'REQUEST_METHOD' ]
print "Query string: " , os.environ[ 'QUERY_STRING' ]
count = 0
for line in sys.stdin:
count = count + 1
print line
if count > 100:
break
print ""
print("</pre>")
print("</body>")
print("</html>")This will dump the information.
QUERY_STRING is mostly for GET (a POST can have a query string too)
sys.stdin gives you the data from the POST
You then have to parse the info, splitting first on '&' to separate the fields, then on '=' to make key-value pairs.
Then you would have to un-urlencode them too.
That is the low-level way to do it. I would assume there is a CGI module that would be easier to use.

Indeed there is.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import cgi, cgitb
cgitb.enable()
print "Content-type: text/html"
print
print '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">'
print '<html><head><title>Python CGI</title></head><body>'
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
print '<h3>Headers</h3><dl>'
for header in form.headers:
print '<dt>%s</dt><dd>%s</dd>' % (header, form.headers[header])
print '</dl>'
print '<h3>Input</h3><dl>'
for name in form:
print '<dt>%s</dt><dd>%s</dd>' % (name, form.getvalue(name))
# or:
#print '<dt>%s</dt><dd>%s</dd>' % (name, form[name].value)
print '</dl>'
cgi.print_form(form)
print '</body></html>'
