So what can I do to pass the argument to the function.

import os, random, string
import cherrypy


class StringGenerator(object):

    @cherrypy.expose        
    def index(self):        
      return """<!DOCTYPE html>

    @cherrypy.expose            
    def generate(self, length,file1):

Take a look into the file cherrypy files tutorial, but to provide you with a concrete answer, your generate method has to use the file attribute of the file1 parameter.

For example, this method would work:

@cherrypy.expose            
def generate(self, length, file1):            
    some_string = "harsh" + length        
    cherrypy.session['mystring'] = some_string        
    file_content = file1.file.read()
    return file_content

You can also operate on the file attribute to get more information, it's an instance of a python TemporaryFile.
