I have tried calling a script containing the code below from a web browser and it did not get the text.
[CODE] #!c:/Python25/python.exe -u import StringIO f=StringIO.StringIO() f.write('<html><head><title>data analysis site</title></head><body>') f.write("<p>This is a trial test</p>") f.write("</body></html>") print "Content-type: text/html\n" print f.read() f.close() [/CODE] So, I assume this is not the way to create web pages.... any links that can help me take the right way? Thanks!
