From: Steven W. Orr on 7 Aug 2010 22:42 I'm ok in python but I haven't done too much with web pages. I have a web page that is hand written in html that has about 1000 entries in a table and I want to convert the table from entries like this <tr> <td> Some Date String </td> <td> SomeTag </td> <td> <a href="localSubdir"> A Title </a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.example.com/remote/path/something.html" Click </a> </td> <td> Some Comment </td> </tr> to SomePythonCall('Some Date String', 'SomeTag', 'localSubdir', "http://www.example.com/remote/path/something.html", 'Click', 'Some Comment') Can someone tell me what I should look at to do this? Is mod_python where I should start or are there things that are better? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Is mod_python where I > should start or are there things that are better? Certainly not mod_python; that project is dead. mod_wsgi is the suggested replacement. But both are relatively low-level solutions. Python has myriad web frameworks available for it; have a look at them. Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com

But what I'm not seeing is any example of how to make this allowed to generate the html at run time. I think I want to embed my python code into an html file. Beautiful soup seems to allow me to create a preprocessor which I could use through a Makefile to generate the html. I have the feeling I'm missing something. Or do I use this in conjunction with wsgi? -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Is mod_python where I > should start or are there things that are better? I'm a bit confused about what you're actually asking. If you have a long, HTML file you want to convert to something else (like Python code...), then BeautifulSoup will help you do that - you can use it to parse the original file, and thus make it easier to do the conversion. If your question was "how do I use Python to create web sites": You don't embed Python in HTML. I doubt anybody does this seriously -- Python (with indentation-based scoping) is less well-suited for this than PHP or Ruby, and it's better to keep logic and presentation separate anyway. "The" standard for using Python on the web is WSGI -- it's a very simple, low- level interface between Python and the web server. There are a number of higher-level web frameworks that you might want to look at if your project is sufficiently complex. [1] -- Thomas [1] http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks
