Pyhton as ASP

Just wondering if anyone here has ever used python to process form submissions. Kinda like as an alternative to ASP. I'm assuming i'd have to have python and the script installed on the server right?


Please let me know if you have or know of any links to doing this. Thanks a lot.

If you have the Win32All extensions installed then Python can be used as a ActiveScripting language, which means that it can be used directly in ASP as an alternative to VBScript.

There are a large number of alternative ways of using Python on the server side. These range from using it to process CGI requests using the standard cgi module all the way up to Zope which is a full blown web application framework.

A couple of good places to start are:

Hope this helps

I use python for all my web development. mod_python is what I use with apache to create web applications.

Really easy and has greater flexibility then ASP. If you add cheetah then web page substitutions are simple.

Thanks alot. I'll be sure to check it out

Actually the latest version of mod_python comes with PSP (Python Server Pages) which i surpose is as similar to ASP as your gonna get without actually using ASP .

Pretty excited to see this tech' in action.
