How to develop a simple web application with server-side Python

  • I am wondering how to go about implementing a web application with Python. For example, the html pages would link to python code that would give it increased functionality and allow it to write to a database. Kind of like how Reddit does it.

  • Answer:

    You might want to check out http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/ or http://www.modpython.org/. What Is mod_wsgi? The aim of mod_wsgi is to implement a simple to use Apache module which can host any Python application which supports the Python WSGI interface. The module would be suitable for use in hosting high performance production web sites, as well as your average self managed personal sites running on web hosting services. - Current State of Mod_Python Currently mod_python is not under active development. This does not mean that it is "dead" as some people have claimed. It smiply means that the code and the project are mature enough when very little is required to maintain it.

Plain CGI is a good starting point to learn about server side scripting, but it is an outdated technology and gets difficult to maintain after certain level of complexity. I would think it is no longer used in industrial-grade web server anymore. Plus you have to setup a web server and then install some module to interpret python script (like Apache with mod_python) just to get started. I had some experience with Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/) and found it fairly easy to get started with since they come with development test server. All you need to have is a Python interpreter + Django and you can get up-and-running quickly and worry about the deployment setup later. They have pretty good documentation for beginner as well.
