I'd like to do some server-side scripting using Python. But I'm kind of lost with the number of ways to do that. It starts with the do-it-yourself CGI approach and it seems to end with some pretty robust frameworks that would basically do all the job themselves. And a huge lot of stuff in between, like web.py, Pyroxide and Django. Wha...
I'm searching a wsgi middleware which I can warp around a wsgi applications and which lets me monitor incoming and outgoing http requests and header fields. Something like firefox live headers, but for the server side. ...
I've got the directive <VirtualHost *> <Location /> AuthType Digest AuthName "global" AuthDigestDomain / AuthUserFile /root/apache_users <Limit GET> Require valid-user </Limit> </Location> WSGIScriptAlias / /some/script.wsgi WSGIDaemonProcess mywsgi user=someuse...
I have heard that there is lots of interesting and useful WSGI middleware around. However, I am not sure which ones (apart from the ones that are part of pylons) are useful and stable. What is your favourite WSGI middleware? ...
Hello, I have a Bluehost account where I can run Python scripts as CGI. I guess it's the simplest CGI because to run I have to define the following in .htaccess: Options +ExecCGI AddType text/html py AddHandler cgi-script .py Now, whenever I look up web programming with Python, I hear a lot about WSGI and how most frameworks use it. ...
What's the difference between these two? Which is better/faster/reliable? ...
We're developing a Python web service and a client web site in parallel. When we make an HTTP request from the client to the service, one call consistently raises a socket.error in socket.py, in read: (104, 'Connection reset by peer') When I listen in with wireshark, the "good" and "bad" responses look very similar: Because of the s...
I'm trying to get the Poll tutorial working at my Dreamhost account (I don't have any prior experience of deploying Django). I downloaded the script I found here (http://gabrielfalcao.com/2008/12/02/hosting-and-deploying-django-apps-on-dreamhost/) at my home directory and executed it. Now I have Python 2.5 and Django in ~/.myroot/ and my...

I have a python sgi script that attempts to extract an rss items that is posted to it and store the rss in a sqlite3 db. I am using flup as the WSGIServer. To obtain the posted content: postData = environ["wsgi.input"].read(int(environ["CONTENT_LENGTH"])) To attempt to store in the db: from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite ldb = ...
Hello, I can't seem to get the wsgiref module to work at all under Python 3.0. It works fine under 2.5 for me, however. Even when I try the example in the docs, it fails. It fails so hard that even if I have a print function above where I do: "from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server", it never gets printed for some reason. It doesn...
I've been writing a fair number of smaller wsgi apps lately and am looking to find a web server that can be distributed, preconfigured to run the specific app. I know there are things like twisted and cherrypy which can serve up wsgi apps, but they seem to be missing a key piece of functionality for me, which is the ability to "pseudost...
I can't seem to figure out how to access POST data using WSGI. I tried the example on the wsgi.org website and it didn't work. I'm using Python 3.0 right now. Please don't recommend a WSGI framework as that is not what I'm looking for. I would like to figure out how to get it into a fieldstorage object. ...
I've been told wsgi is the way to go and not mod_python. But more specifically, how would you set up your multi website server environment? Choice of web server, etc? ...
Deploying a WSGI application. There are many ways to skin this cat. I am currently using apache2 with mod-wsgi, but I can see some potential problems with this. So how can it be done? Apache Mod-wsgi (the other mod-wsgi's seem to not be worth it) Pure Python web server eg paste, cherrypy, Spawning, Twisted.web as 2 but with reverse pr...
I'm looking into supporting HTTP/1.1 Byte serving in WSGI server/application for: resuming partial downloads multi-part downloads better streaming WSGI PEP 333 mentions that WSGI server may implement handling of byte serving (from RFC 2616 section 14.35.2 defines Accept-Range/Range/Content-Range response/request/response headers) and...
Suppose someone is editing a HTML form, and their session times out, how can one have Django re-authenticate that individual without losing the content the user had entered into the form? The snippet Django Snippets: Require login across entire site suggests how to do site-wide authentication, but I expect it will lose the GET component...
Can I write web application that I can host on Windows(IIS web server) and Linux (Apache or lighttpd) without any changes? CGI? Maybe something new? WSGI | FastCGI ? ...
I'm a programmer in Python who works on web-applications. I know a fair bit about the application level. But not so much about the underlying "plumbing" which I find myself having to configure or debug. I'm thinking of everything from using memcached to flup, fcgi, WSGI etc. When looking for information about these, online, Google typi...
I've pretty much tried every Python web framework that exists, and it took me a long time to realize there wasn't a silver bullet framework, each had its own advantages and disadvantages. I started out with Snakelets and heartily enjoyed being able to control almost everything at a lower level without much fuss, but then I discovered Tur...
