To get code working for the link you provided you'll need to add the line following my comment in the code below...

def upload(self, myFile):
    MySQLconnection = MySQLdb.connect(host=cherrypy.request.app.config['Database']['host'], 
                                 passwd=cherrypy.request.app.config['Database']['passwd'],
                                 db=cherrypy.request.app.config['Database']['db'],
                                 user=cherrypy.request.app.config['Database']['user'],
                                 port=cherrypy.request.app.config['Database']['port'], 
                                 cursorclass=DictCursor)
    MySQLcursor = MySQLconnection.cursor()
    size = 0

    # add this line
    all_data = bytearray()

    while True:
        data = myFile.file.read(8192)
        all_data += data
        if not data:
            break
        size += len(data)

        saved_file=open('upload_path', 'wb') 
        saved_file.write(all_data) 
        saved_file.close()

    MySQLcursor.execute("insert into ImagePathDatabase (path) values ('" + MySQLdb.escape_string(myFile.filename) + "')")
    MySQLcursor.execute("commit;")

Let me know if you need any more help.
