It's got a bit of a steep learning curve, but django might be what you're looking for. I would start with the tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/ and eventually work your way to class-based views and forms: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/class-based-views/generic-ed iting/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python in web development
If Python is your personal choice, then it's the *best* for you. If you are literally just going to be processing an HTML form, then CGI is your best bet. However, if you think this functionally will grow, then it's worth learning a web framework. I would go with a micro framework. bottle.py is a perfect starting point. I am a huge Flask fan, but it's a little higher level. I have tutorials here for Flask - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLjmbh6XPGK5pM1QJ8I1ccdGiCTHa1IC8 Also, check out realpythonfortheweb.com for more tutorials.

There are literally dozens of frameworks you can use. You could use straight CGI if you wanted, but I recommend a framework with a decent templating engine for HTML code generation. Anyway, a list--not exhaustive--of frameworks can be found here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks Django is one of the most popular. Web2Py is another. Though they might seem overkill, it's well worth it to use them and learn them. They both have good documentation. So start there at their individual sites. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python in web development
1) Python is absolutely fine for web development. It's just as good, if not better than PHP or Perl for this sort of work (that's my opinion anyway). 2) I've used Django quite extensively and it can certainly handle your requirements. You might want to have a look at Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/) as it's not quite as heavy as Django so would possibly suit your needs a little better.

Python in web development
Hello All, I have been using Python as a scripting language for my office tasks. Now I have been thinking of using (and learning as well) for web development. For my tasks, I need to perform some tasks and report on the web. Now I have no experience of web development with Python. So, I want to conform first whether Python is best for web development. Python is my personal choice for my automation works and I want to extend it for web development. REQUIREMENT: I need to develop a html form which would take user input and perform some operations (generate intermediate files) and report result on web. >> Some guys in my organization are using Perl for this purpose and thus I >> could get the setup for free.But I want to learn and use Python as >> substitute for Perl. (PHP could also be an option. I have worked on PHP once >> for handling the form data.) So my questions are:- 1. Can I use Python (I want to use personally :)) over PHP/Perl? 2. If Yes, I want to know the modules that I should learn for achieving my requirement. I searched internet and found Python provides CGI, Django etc. I don't much about Django/CGI, please suggest which module I should learn and use.
