Remember the days when the big problem was to find an ISP who would install Python? Apparently that problem has gone away... The problem is now to get one that installs a decent set of Python extensions :-) See attached c.l.py post. This is similar to the evolution of Python's name recognition -- used to be, managers would say "what's Python?"; then they said "nobody else uses Python"; now presumably they will have to make up some kind ad-hoc no-Python company policy :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) ------- Start of forwarded message ------- From: Sim & Golda Zacks <simngolda@voyager.net> Newsgroups: comp.lang.python Subject: Re: htmllib, cgi, HTMLfmt, genCGI, HTMLgen, html, Zope, ...

I am a web programmer and I'm trying to implement the CGI and database stuff with Python. I am using the HTMLFMT module from the INTERNET PROGRAMMING book and the cgi module from the standard library. What the HTMLFMT library does for you is just that you don't have to type in all the tags, basically it's nothing magical, if I didn't have it I would have to make something up and it probably wouldn't be half as good. the standard cgi unit gives you all the fields from the form, and I haven't looked at the cgi modules from the book yet to see if they give me any added benefit. The big problem I came across was my web host, and all of the other ones I talked to, refused to install the mysql interface to Python, and it has to be included in the build (or something like that) So I just installed gadfly, which seems to be working great for me right now. I'm still playing with it not in production yet. I have no idea what ZOPE does, but everyone who talks about it seems to love it. Hope this helps Sim Zacks [...] ------- End of forwarded message -------
