Why don't you write your module as a script and pass the variables via command line like most human beings? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Most people, I believe, would use the pythonic API: >>> import MySQLdb >>> db = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost', user='root', passwd='mypw', db='python-test') >>> cursor = db.cursor() The low-level API is... well.. for when you want to do low-level stuff. You probably want the pythonic API. -a -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

When I first saw the subject header I thought it was referring to the Python-based deployment tool. It's just going to confuse people.

For me, the original post ended in my spam box, which means my filter is doing it's job, but when you re-post it, my filter did not regard it as spam. I actually wish it had.

Usenet is distributed and therefore there is no central place to filter spam (each usenet host would have to have its own filter and what one considers spam another might consider ham)... anyway, that's neither here nor there. Having my own filter usually works. I'm not here to dis you, just to try to help you understand the how/why regarding the re-post and why your attitude about it might give the impression of apathy toward your peer community. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You need to return headers (like Content-type): e.g. (untested) print "Content-type: text/plain" print print "hello world" See also http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html -a -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
