First, you need to tell the web server to execute your Python script. What you do next depends on how you've done that. The simplest way is probably to pub p.py in your cgi-bin directory. This could be in /var/www/cgi-bin or elsewhere, like /usr/lib/cgi-bin. You may need to enable CGI, check the relevant documentation (or with the admin). When you've made sure the script is executed as a CGI script, you can use the cgi module to get all the information you need. http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html A better way to write web applications in Python is with WSGI. You can run WSGI scripts in a number of ways, including CGI and other, more efficient ways that integrate with the web server. Maybe somebody else knows of a good tutorial on WSGI that they'll link here, otherwise, I'm sure Google is your friend. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
