Exactly what I need right now, thx. (Okay, that's not the experty feedback you were looking for, but I'm just a simple beginner with Python and web programming.)

I felt a little disoriented at the beginning, maybe you need a clearer intro on what you are about to tutor and to whom. Once you got going, the meat of your tutorial looks very clear and helpful. I've never used the cookie material before, and I'll refer to your examples in the future.

I found this decorator to be useful in helping me deal with all the HTML header and trailer boilerplate you find littered about in CGI scripts - http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDe...2405a283d6759b. I don't know if you necessarily want to include it in the tutorial, but it may be helpful in your own CGI work.

you're really missingt WSGI there - it's undoubtedly the way to build python web apps now and in future (can be run with fastcgi, cgi, mod_python, alone, etc etc)

Kakao · Jun 11th, 2007, 5:27 PM

I already have CGI and mod_python (publisher and PSP). WSGI is my next goal. I'm just waiting for modwsgi to stabilize to build a tutorial on it.

modwsgi will be the WSGI for the masses as it will probably be adopted by the ISPs because it is safe, easy to setup and light on resources. Thus it has the potential to make Python a real challenge for PHP.

modwsgi ? Thanks for linking it, that rocks . I myself mostly use WSGI in combination with FastCGI (via flup) and lighttpd..

Are you using WordPress for the tutorial?

Kakao · Jun 14th, 2007, 3:17 PM

The tutorial uses Drupal.

Cool. Thought it looked familiar. I'll give the content a check soon... been wanting to play around with Python in the web, etc. Thanks.
