cgi python
Hi Christian,
I have seen your well-solved cgi-python answers. That's why I think you
would be able to answer my query related to the same.
I am writing a cgi program and placing it in cgi-bin folder of Apache
Server. Now I have written a python script in the same folder to
generate a graph 'genebarchart.py'.
When I run this program from shell, i.e.,
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>python genebarchart.py
it runs well and creates the graph in htdocs folder as I save the graph
there using a save command within the python script, but when I use the
os.system command to call the python script within the cgi-code, i.e.,
os.system ("python genebarchart.py")
as both the scripts are in the same folder, it doesn't creates the graph
in htdocs folder. Can u please tell me why?
Thanks,
Piyali

Hi,
I am using networkx and pylab for creating a graph using a python script
abc.py.
I have saved the networkx folder in "C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages".
When I run the script from command prompt, it creates the graph and saves it
to the place I want to but when I write a python-cgi script and run it as
os.system('python abc.py')
it doesn't gives me any result.
I have included the path of my system using
os.environ['PATH'] = ".".
I also appended the path of networkx directory using
sys.path.append('C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages') as it seems to me that it
is a path related problem and the cgi result page shows error
(1) networkx *undefined*
(2)* *drawing undefined
(3) nx_pylab *undefined*
(4) matplotlib *undefined*
*(5)
raise RuntimeError("'%s' is not a writable dir; you must set
environment variable HOME to be
*
* a writable dir "%h)*
Can you please tell me how to enable cgi to run this program on runtime. I
have kept both the cgi script as well as python script in Apache/cgi-bin
folder.
Thanks,
Piyali

hi all,
I solved the problem with the help of python cookbook+matplotlib
I was getting the main error as *
raise RuntimeError("'%s' is not a writable dir; you must set
environment variable HOME to be
*
* a writable dir "%h)*
Matplotlib needs the environment variable HOME to point to a writable
directory.Thats why i did
os.environ[ 'HOME' ] = 'C:/temp'
and the cgi-script worked.
For further questions about cgi+matplotlib/networkx please see
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook. Its very useful
Thanks,
