Hi all- I'm trying to port an ajax spell-checker (http://www.broken-notebook.com/spell_checker/index.php) to use with the moin moin wiki and have been somewhat successful. (By successful I mean I can spell check using the php backend and my python port running as cgi-bin).
My question is this: moinmoin runs on many python web backends (cgi-bin/mod-python/twisted/standalone). My spell-checker backend runs as cgi (disclaimer: I've done a bit of php and java(struts) web app programming, but the last python related web programming I did was Zope about 5 years ago (does that even count ? ;) )) because that was the easiest for me to get up to speed on. What is the best way to write cross-backend python web apps? Is there any abstraction I can use? With cgi-bin, I use the python "cgi" module, which gives me easy access to form variables, but I'd like to be able to deploy in the other backends as well. What's the best way to do this? Or is a rewrite required for each one? thanks matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
