A File object isn't really the file, it's a reference to the file and you can use it to get its associated metadata (permissions,size,etc.) The example Ikai is referring to creates a new file on disk which isn't allowed on AppEngine so this isn't going to work. Nicolo, perhaps you can create your own multi-part http request and post it using the protocol instead of the API using URLFetch. An example from the docs is shown below. Definitely not as easy as the API.
