Python and POST data

In PHP I simply write:

$bob = $_POST['bob'];

How do I do the same in Python?

And yes, I do normally check that it exists etc, I'm just stripping it down specifically to the functionality I am after.

Edit: I am not using a framework

The simplest method is the 'cgi' module:

import cgi
data = cgi.FieldStorage()
data['bob']

But the context you are executing in (frameworks you're using, WSGI or even (heaven forbid) mod_python) may have different, more efficient or more direct methods of access.
