I need to send some HTML form data to a python script for formatting but
don't know how to do this. The user enters the data into a HTML form. The
data is sent to a script where it is cleaned up and tokenized. The revised
data is sent to another python function where it is to be used. How do I go
about this? Does every python function go into the default.py controller or
should I create a new .py file to process the form data? I have an example
here. This takes the search term as input by the user and sends it to the
results page. How would I send it to a python script before sending it to
the results page? I'm really confused by this!
index.html:
<div id="MainArea">
<p align="center">MY SEARCH ENGINE</p>
<form name="form1" method="get" action="results.html">
<label for="SearchBar"></label>
<div align="center">
<input name="query" type="text" id="SearchBar" value="" size = "100px"
><br />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Search">
</div>
</form>
<p align="center"> </p>
</div>
results.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h1>This is the default/results.html template</h1>
{{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}}
<div>{{=results}}</div>
default.py:
import urllib2
def index():
return dict()
def results():
address = "http://www.blekko.com/?q=%(query)s+/json&auth=<mykey>" % dict
(query=request.vars.query)
response = urllib2.urlopen(address)
html=response.read()
return html
