The more I use Python, the more I think about using it online. Often this amounts to creating simple tools to help me get things done quicker, like embed a simple script in a web page, process a form, etc. without having to install an entire framework. Besides, it’s handy having the basics of Python web programming under your belt before trying to tame the framework beast.
I wasn’t having much look Googling anything, but then I thought, what’s the most basic program on the planet? That would the be typical hello world! program, so I Googled something like python web hello world, and came up with this excellent Python web programming tutorial1 that outlines the various ways to get your Python scripts generating web pages. Check it out.
1 Note the juicy anchor text here. Not only did I provide a link to this website, which will give it another inbound link from a non-spammy site to help boost its rankings, but it will also help Google figure out that this is a Python web programming tutorial because that text is actually within the link’s anchor text. If more folks did this sort of thing, instead of the typical “click here” link text (isn’t “click” implied by it being a link? This ain’t the 90’s anymore…), it’d be easier to find stuff online.
