[Tutor] mod_python

[Jason DeBord]

Is mod_python the only way to integrate python and apache2 ? I am interested
in using Python instead of PHP and would like to use Python's template style
as well as a framework such as Pylons or Django.

Thanks in advance!

[Tutor] Leaving PHP for Python

[Jason DeBord]

Hello All,

This is my first message on the mailing list. I am excited to get started
developing content / backend for the web with Python.

I have a background in PHP, but am convinced that Python is a better, more
powerful language.

I am on a Windows XP machine and I have been using XAMPP for server, php,
mysql...

I installed Python 2.5 and mod_python successfully. I can serve pages with
.py extension to http://localhost .

The following for example:

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
req.write(Hello World!)
return apache.OK

Frankly, I don't understand what is going on in the above. This is a bit
different compared to what I am used to.

So, my question, would you all please point me to some introductory
resources, tutorials, books, that focus on Python programming for the web? I
am eventually going to interface with some web services, notably Amazon Web
Services. Also, I'd like to write some server side scripts to serve as a
backend to some Adobe AIR apps.

Any and all advice is extremely appreciated.

Thanks for your time!

Sincerely,

Jason
