Parse file into array

[amfr]

I was wondering how i could parse the contents of a file into an array.
 the file would look something like this:

gif:image/gif
html:text/html
jpg:image/jpeg
...

As you can see, it contains the mime type and the file extension
seperated by commas, 1 per line.  I was wondering if it was possible to
create and array like this:

(Pseudocode)
mimetypearray[gif] = "image/gif"
mimetypearray[html] = "text/html"
mimetypearray[jpg] = "image/jpeg"
...

I come from a PHP backround where I know this is possible, but I am new
at Python.  Please disregard this if it is a stupid question.

Hoe would I call something on the command line from python, e.g. "ls

What I am trying to do is call perl on the command line.  Also, do any
of these functions return the data recievved from the command?

On windows, is there anything special I have to do to read a binary

Code returns error when not supposed to

[amfr]

This code always returns a ValueError when it is not supposed to:
i = rest.rfind('?')

Error:
ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack

rfind is not supposed to generate an erro, just return -1. Any ideas?

Re: BaseHTTPServer module

[amfr]

I looked at the doumentation and is says rfile is:
"Contains an input stream, positioned at the start of the optional
input data."
How do i get the input out of it?

Retrieve input

[amfr]

A little while ago, someone told me that for the BaseHTTPServer module,
the whole request would be stored in self.rfile.

Re: Retrieve input

[amfr]

Thanks, but when I try to read the stream using read(), the script just
keeps on going and does not stop. When i press ctrl + c, the script
shows thsi (top of error taken off):
  File "modules/runpython.py", line 88, in runModule
sys.stdin = self.rfile.read()
  File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/socket.py",
line 283, in read
data = self._sock.recv(recv_size)
KeyboardInterrupt

Any ideas?

CGI module does not parse data

[amfr]

I am writing a webserver, and I want it to be able to run python
scripts.  But when I set sys.stdin to self.rfile (using the
BaseHTTPServer class, self.rfile is a input stream containing the
request), the cgi module does not parse the data.
Example script:
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
print form["testfield"]

The above script would print nothing.  Should i be setting sys.stdin to
something else, or is there anthoer solution entirely?

Re: CGI module does not parse data

[amfr]

I have included some of the content of that file, I am writing this as
an extension to my ebserver which is based on BaseHTTPServer.  This
part of the code was taken directly from the CGIHTTPServer file,
nothing changed

Re: CGI module does not parse data

I just read somewhere that the CGIHTTPServer module does not work on
mac (which I am currently using), is this true?

Re: CGI module does not parse data

[amfr]

I am using execfile, setting stdin and stdout like this:
sys.stdin = self.wfile
sys.stdout = self.rfile
execfile(filename)

Its the same code used in the CGIHTTPServer module.  I know that the
python is executing corretly, a script with this content would work:

print ""
print ""
print ""
print "blah"
print ""
print "
print ""
print "test"
print ""
print ""

but this would not (lets say i submitted a form with the value of test
being "hello world"):

import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
print form["test"]
print "test"

I would only be able to see "test", not "hello world"
I am sure its not my browser
