Configure apache to run python scripts
I need to configure apache to run python scripts. I followed the steps mentioned in this site (http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/ addcgitoapache.shtml). But I am not able to run python scripts from Firefox, I got a forbidden error "you do not have permission to access the file in the server" when I try to run the script form Firefox browser. Somebody please help me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Configuring apache to execute python scripts using mod_python handler
I configured apache to execute python scripts using mod_python
handler. I followed below mentioned steps to configure apache.
1. In http.conf I added
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
2. Then I added the line "LoadModule python_module modules/
mod_python.so" to http.conf.
Then I tried execute the python script mentioned below from browser.
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.content_type = 'text/plain'
req.write("Hello World!")
return apache.OK
Then I am getting the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\softwares\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python
\importer.py", line 1537, in HandlerDispatch
default=default_handler, arg=req, silent=hlist.silent)
File "D:\softwares\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python
\importer.py", line 1202, in _process_target
module = import_module(module_name, path=path)
File "D:\softwares\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python
\importer.py", line 304, in import_module
return __import__(module_name, {}, {}, ['*'])
ImportError: No module named mptest
I am using Apache 2.2.4, python 2.5 and mod_python-3.3.1.win32-py2.5-
Apache2.2.
I am able to execute python scripts by configuring apache to execute
the cgi scripts. But I want to execute it using mod_python as it is
faster compared to cgi mode. Someone please help me on this issue.

Python web frameworks
There are a lot of web frameworks for python like django, mod_python, spyce, turbo gears, Zope, Cherrypy etc. Which one is the best in terms of performance and ease of study. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

From the posts I understand that Django and pylons are the best.

XOR encryption
I wrote a python script to perform XOR encryption on a text and write the encrypted text to a file. But when I try to read the file as the encrypted text contains an EOF in between the file is read only to the first EOF and remaining part of the text is not read. I used the text "hello world" and code 109. The ASCII value of w is 119 which is XOR ed with 109 gives EOF (ascii 26). So when I read the file next time and decrypts it with 109; I'm getting result as "hello " as the encrypted w is considered as EOF and remaining pare is not read. I'm posting the code below. Please give me some inputs ot sort this out. name='a.txt' f1=open(name,"w") text='hello world' data=[] code=109 coded="" for i in range(0,len(text)): coded = coded+chr(ord(text[i]) ^ code) f1.write(coded) print coded f1.close() f1=open(name,"r") while 1: char = f1.read(1) if not char: break else: char = chr(ord(char) ^ int(code)) data.append(char) f1.close() print data -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Designing website
Hi All, I am planning to design a website using windows, apache, mysql, python. But I came to know that python cgi is very slow.
