python, cgi?

Hi,

New here to Python. Need help:

Wrote a code "test.py", so when run it command line, generate a file "outfile" which is a html page.

Q: how to do so in a web page, to run the code when url is directed? Need cgi?

Web server is a Linux system.

Thanks.

M

yeh, you'll need to configure apache (I'm assuming you're using apache, but if not then whatever http server you're using) to execute python scripts with your python install. I'm not sure how well you know your way around your web server, but if you are indeed on apache then the documentation on their site is all you need: http://httpd.apache.org/

Also, you'll need to change your script to print an appropriate response header and send your output to stdout, instead of to a file.

For example:
Code:
# Print a header and a blank line afterwards to indicate end of header
print "Content-type: text/html"
print

# Now print your HTML page
print "<html><head><title>Hello</title></head>"
print "<body>"
print "   Hello World"
print "</body>"
print "</html>"


Also, to make your CGI script handle form variables, you may wish to use the following modules:
Code:
import cgi
# The next two lines are useful, to print script errors to the browser
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()
