uploading html files and using python

For my forum, I tried uploading a file with html using:

<form action="profiles.py" method="post">
<label class="labelOne" for="pics">Change your Profile pic </label>
<input type="file" name="uploadField" />

My python function takes that file, creates a file under userprofiles, and writes the data to it:

file = open('../data/accounts/userprofiles/'+str(form['name'].value)+'/'+'profilepics', 'w+')
file.write(str(form.getvalue('uploadField')))
file.close()

So, If I want burger.jpg to be my picture, I upload it, python takes that and creates a file with that name burger.jpg using w+ and then it writes the data to it(which should be the image).

However for some reason, I get no image.

What should I try next?

Set the enctype of your form to multipart/form-data

<form action="profiles.py" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
