I got it working!

A quick explanation for people looking to solve the same problem. The code below in the plotting script reads the data passed on to the FieldStorage and converts it to a normal python dictionary.

Code:

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
d={}
for key in form:

thanks for everyones help!...

Thanks! that puts me in a complete new path...

thanks!...

So, to use post I thought I had found the way of doing it with the following lines

Code:

Thanks!
