Re: Python, Forms, Databases
You should check out Spyce: http://spyce.sourceforge.net/ It will work under CGI as well as Fast CGI, ModPython, or its own built in server. It also has an ASP/JSP like syntax: http://spyce.sourceforge.net/docs/doc-lang_asp.html If you plan on getting a new hosting company you might also want to look at TurboGears and Django. -jjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

CGI, "ick!" :-P Zope, "mmm" :-) Actually, it's a bit of a pain to get Zope installed on your server (or conversely, to get a server you're allowed to put Zope on). But if you're willing to do that, it is going to be *so* much easier to manage. *If* you can do that, then it's a really simple way to do what you want. This kind of thing is child's play once you have a Zope site set up (you'll have to install a MySQL Zope product, and possibly some helpful Zope products for managing forms, if you don't want to do it the old-fashioned way -- after that though, it's just "throught-the-web" scripting). But Zope is kind of a culture onto itself, so you may not necessarily want to buy into it, if you don't do this kind of thing often.

Zope seems definitively out of the field - it's not the right tool for the job, and it requires specific, professionnal hosting. I don't know to much about webware. Pure CGI is a PITA. Something that may do the job just fine is Myghty (a slightly enhanced Python port of Perl Mason). A great + for Myghty is that it will scale if your app grows (Myghty runs on CGI, FastCGI, mod_python, WSGI, and even on Python's HTTPServer).

Simple cgi example http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/pyBiblio/tips/wilson/basiccgi.php or you can go the more complex route which generates, validates and parses forms for you. http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodNevow/FormHandling for which you'll need twisted sumo and pollenations forms package Here is some sample code: http://divmod.org/trac/attachment/wiki/DivmodNevow/FormHandling/Example1.2.tac.py Tim Parkin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Python, Forms, Databases
Larry I do see your point. There does seem to be a lot more support for PHP and MySQL together than there is Python and ASP. But I want to first try to accomplish my goal by using Python first before I give up and revert back to PHP. So if I was going to parse HTML forms and place the data into a MySQL database, what should I use? CGI module? Zope? Webware?

Python, Forms, Databases
I have been looking around for a few days for ways to use Python with HTML forms. What I am interested in doing is placing the data that is submited through an HTML form and collected by Python into a MySQL database. I initially thought that I was going to be able to do this with ASP, but I found out that my web hosting provider doesn't have ASP support installed into their servers. Also, I couldn't find any dirt cheap hosting providers that did support Pyton and ASP together. The next solution I stumbled upon was to use Zope. However, I wasn't sure if I should spend more of my time looking into this or not, and I found a possible way around this, which is by using the CGI module. As you can see, I am somewhat new to Python web programming and I have confused myself. Can anybody name a few modules that I should look into and these modules are the ones that will allow me to accomplish what I am interested in doing? Thanks for your help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
