Ah, jQuery and web.py are great together.
Try this:
###################################
./river.py:
###################################
import web
# A sample "database" using just a Python dictionary object
database = {
"Tokyo" : "Sumida",
"Paris" : "Seine",
"Minneapolis" : "Mississippi",
"Manaus" : "Amazon",
"Cairo" : "Nile",
"Beijing" : "Yangtze",
"Seoul" : "Han" }
class river:
def GET(self, cityName):
response = database.get(cityName, "I don't know")
print repr(response), # a poor man's JSON converter
web.run( ('/river/(.*)', 'river') , globals())
############################
/static/index.html:
############################
<html>
<head>
<title>City to river</title>
<script src="/static/jquery-1.2.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function lookupRiver() {
var whatTheUserEntered = $("#cityName").val();
$.getJSON("/river/" + whatTheUserEntered, function(data){
$("#riverName").html(data);
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#doLookup").click(lookupRiver);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Enter the name of a city:</p>
<input id="cityName" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" id="doLookup" />
<p id="riverName"></p>
</body>
</html>
##############################################
Make sure jquery-1.2.3.js is in /static also.
Then, python river.py, go to http://localhost:8080/static, and enjoy.
