Haypo: I believe that the consensus we've come to is that you shouldn't have to.  FieldStorage should take a binary stream.  So should cgi.parse.  If defaulting to sys.stdin, then if stdin is text, they should turn it in to a binary stream right at the start.

None of which is true right now, and this presents some backward compatibility problems.
