But, check out things like httplib2 and urllib2.

Thank you, that helps. The bit I am still confused about how the server sends 
the response to the server though. I get the impression that there are 
different ways that this could be done, but is sending an XML response back to 
the Python server the best way to do this?

As far as I know, it is the only way to do this. Look around a bit, Python (or 
PHP, or C, etc., etc.) is able to act as an HTTP client...in fact, that is the 
most common way that web services are consumed. But, we are definitely beyond 
the scope of the Solr list at this point.

Yes (or, at least, I think I understand what you are saying, haha.) Let me 
clarify.

1. Client sends GET request to web server
2. Web server (via Python, in your case, if I remember correctly) queries Solr 
Server
3. Solr server sends response to web server
4. You take that data and put it into the page you are creating server-side
5. Server returns static page to client

Hi Ben,

Thank you for the reply. So, If I don't want to use Javascript and I want the 
entire page to reload each time, is it being done like this?

1. User submits form via GET
2. Solr server queried via GET
3. Solr server completes query
4. Solr server returns XML output
5. XML data put into results page
6. User shown new results page

Is this basically how it would work if we wanted Javascript out of the equation?

Regards,

James

I'm new to Solr...but this is more of a web programming question...so I can get 
in on this :).

Your only option to get the data from Solr sans-Javascript, is the use python 
to pull the results BEFORE the client loads the page.

So, if you are asking if you can get AJAX like results (an already loaded page 
pulling info from your Solr server)...but without using Javascript...no, you 
cannot do that. You might be able to hack something ugly together using 
iframes, but trust me, you don't want to. It will look bad, it won't work well, 
and interacting with data in an iframe is nightmarish.

So, basically, if you don't want to use Javascript, your only option is a total 
page reload every time you need to query Solr (which you then query on the 
python side.)

Thank you for the reply, but I'm afraid I don't understand :(

This is how things are setup. On my Python website, I have a keyword and 
location box. When clicked, it queries the server via a javascript "GET"
request, it then sends back the data via Json.

I'm saying that I dont want to be reliant on Javascript. So I'm confused about 
the best way to not only send the request to the Solr server, but also how to 
receive the data.

My guess is that a "GET" request without javascript is the right way to send 
the request to the Solr server, but then what should Solr be spitting out the 
other end, just an XML file? Then is the idea that my Python site would receive 
this XML data and display it on the site?
