I might be mistaken, but I don't think you understand the terminology that you are using.

There is some tendency for people to latch on to buzzwords and bandy them about freely, but if you have a question about how to achieve a solution to some problem, perhaps you should explain your goals in plain language, rather than indulge in jargon that you have misinterpreted.

It's only a suggestion. Feel free to ignore it.

Booooze

You should get a picture of your own kid doing that...hehe, it would make a much more personal statement.

@OP - search for it dude, don't bother asking us to just 'provide it for you'. I'm not going to rant into this. bah.

Once you see past DaWei's arrogance he usually offers good advice, the only thing I can suggest for anyone wanting advice from DaWei (or people like him) is to read this:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

even if you just flick through to get the general idea - it will help.

as for the OP's question I can safely say that this isn't the place to be asking for pre-developed code, you should consider reading up on the basics of python, I like this guide the most:
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/

there are also lots of other resources, the world is at your finger tips.

This reminds me of my all-time favourit spoof thread:

Panarchy

I want to write the html for a forum. I don't want to write (actually, I do, but I can't!) the backend (java code or python code) behind it.

If someone knows how I can do that, please tell me!

I think you are going to struggle my friend, because all open source forum code be it PHP, Python, Ruby, ASP.NET whatever. *IT* generates the HTML dynamically, that's the whole point ! The only thing you can do with it is style it and that's design not programming.

My ISP offered a CGI based forum included with my free webspace, it was really basic but that was exactly what you describe. To make use of it I had to create the HTML pages there was only three I think: A thread view, a posts view and a thanks for posting page. I think it was called zist or something.

I had a quick search for CGI based forum script, didn't turn up much but maybe you can have better luck with a bit more time.

Haha, I love it!
Better yet, announce your awesome project and all the plans you have for it, get a Sourceforge page for it, recruit some coders, and by next week, you'll have the best forum software EVER!

I believe the forum grimpirate is developing, GrimBB, is open source. Perhaps you could use that, if the license permits.

Thet ain' no spoof, thet's dead serrus. Lemme search the archives.
