Graphical Engine
Hi, A few friends and myself were thinking of writing a graphical engine based on OpenGL. Does Python have the required speed for that task? Are there any examples out there of open-source engines which we can look at? A Google search yielded no interesting results, but then again I'm probably missing something.

Control-C alternative in Windows
Hello, I've written a simple, standalone wiki server in Python. It runs a BaseHTTPServer's serve_forever() method until a KeyboardInterrupt is caught, at which point it writes changes to a file and exits. This works as expected in Linux. However, in Windows I cannot stop the script with Control-C. I've only been able to stop it with Ctrl-Break, which does not send KeyboardInterrupt. This means no saving to the file and effectively a useless script. Any ideas as to how I might make this work in Windows? Thanks in advance, Vlad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
BaseHTTPServer - getting POST parameters
Hello, After experimenting for a while, I am still not able to find where the POST data is in the BaseHTTPRequestHandler class. I am trying to write a very simple HTTP server for a project of mine and I need to get the POST data. Certainly I am missing something, as it is a comon task.

Re: Getting and Setting Cookies

My problem is getting the cookies that are currently set. How can I do that? You still haven't explicitly said that you're writing server-side code. If you are: IIRC, you .load() it from the HTTP header value, then you use it as a mapping (though, oddly, that seems undocumented, except in the Example section of the docs). A working CGI-based example (written in a rather retro style for ease of deployment): http://codespeak.net/svn/wwwsearch/ClientCookie/trunk/cookietest.cgi If you want to iterate over all cookies using module Cookie (that script does not), use .keys(), .values() or .items() on your SimpleCookie instance (it's also a little odd that instances of class SimpleCookie do not represent a single cookie, but a collection of cookies). That's pretty much what I was trying to find out. Thanks for the pointer. Vlad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Getting and Setting Cookies
Hello, I am trying to use cookies and Python to create a simple login example. But I am very disoriented at the existence of two cookie libraries, namely Cookie and cookielib. I have seen examples of setting cookies (although I am still not sure about timestamps and cookie lifespan), but no reference to getting the currently set cookies. For instance, I want to see if there is any 'user' value, to check whether the user has logged in. Please, enlighten me. Thanks in advance, Vlad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python CGI Scripting Documentation
Hello, I would like to learn web scripting with Python (sure, everyone uses PHP, but I don't like the syntax and Python is more general-purpose and... well, I guess you people know the advantages better than me). Where can I get a thorough introduction to both CGI and using Python for CGI? That includes installing my own web server (at home, for testing) and starting from scratch (by that I mean I have near null experience with CGI). I have tried looking through the source code of MoinMoin, but it's just too advanced for me -- I simply don't know where to start. Right now, I'll take any and all suggestions. However, please suggest books or articles that are up-to-date on Python programming; I'd hate to see that I'm studying obsolete texts or the like. Thanks in advance, Vlad -- If I make any mistake, be it regarding English or Usenet, do point it out to me. Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Using Python as a web scripting language
Hello everyone,I am learning Python and have heard it can be used similarly to PHP for web scripting. Because I find the latter not entirely to my liking, I would like to use Python. How should I configure my web server, what do I need, where should I start at, etc. I realise this sort of question pops up regularly, so just give me a starting point and I'll work my way from there (hopefully). Thanks in advance,Vlad Dogaru--If I have somehow managed to break some sort of rules, either etiquette or English, by all means educate me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
