Hi I am trying to write a facebook application in python - I have been programming simple desktop applications till now and am not really familiar with web apps
Pyfacebook is the wrapper for the REST based Facebook API - there is a simple example for its usage as shown below: def simple_web_app(request, api_key, secret_key): fb = Facebook(api_key, secret_key, request.GET['auth_token']) fb.auth_getSession() A Django-based tutorial and source is available here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/PythonPyFacebookTutorial I really don't want to use a framework for the time being and just want an app up and running My question is - how do you create the "request" object which will be passed into the simple_web_app(request, api_key, secret_key) function here - is there somewhere I can read into it? I have been googling for hours and there seems to be no simple, straightforward example for this - PHP rules when it comes to simple web programming apps - either I am not looking at the right places but it's very hard to get up and running quickly for web apps in Python - maybe DiveIntoPython needs a section devoted for web programming -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
