I came to python from perl, where I used CGI.pm. To get that effect, I wrote my own CGIpm.py and used it for a while. http://www.seanet.com/~hgg9140/comp/index.html But (at the suggestion of others in this newsgroup), I then tried writing directly. The net effect is trivial html generation, with all the power of python at your fingertips. Note: To save even more time, I made a CGI template that includes this main: #============================ if __name__=="__main__": mystart() #cgi.print_environ_usage() #cgi.print_environ() form = cgi.FieldStorage() try: if len(form)==0: send_form1() else: form_name=form['form_name'].value if form_name=='form1': recv_form1() except StandardError, e: print "\n<BR>ERROR: %s\n" % e myend() To support a stateless world: 1. Each form has a send_xyz and recv_xyz function. The end of each recv_xyz decides what send_xyz to do next. 2. mystart and myend handle opening and closing the http and html. They also handle state save/restore as needed (pickle or database). > > > Philippe C.
