hello python users, could you point me to a very simple (single file is best) web-server? I want to serve a few web-forms and run some shell scripts when the forms are submitted. I might add Ajax later (this is not a requirement, if it only supports forms it's OK).
Longer story: I would like to provide a web-page for customization of an application - it should run some shell commands as the user clicks around in the page and at the end write a configuration file. I had a look at the python wiki (http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebProgramming), where various web servers and frameworks are listed. The frameworks seem to heavy for such a simple task and BaseHTTPServer just seems to be too light. So I took a look at the web-servers listed: httpy had the last release 1,5 years ago, Medusa more than 5 years, Twisted seems to be able to do a lot, so probably not the simple thing I'm looking for. CherryPy looks promising, however it is still 89 files (including some that can be removed). If CGIHTTPServer is a good answer, could you point me to a good (nontrivial) example? thank you, muro -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
