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
