Re: how to run python scripts on a website

i have a website which runs apache on linux.  it supports python (i
think via cgi....not sure how else).  anyway how can I go to a web page
and run a python script or something like that?  for example say i make
a script which prints out all the links on another URL....how can i run
that?


thanks!


Here is a start. Put the following in your cgi-bin folder or equivalent. Name it test.cgi


#!/usr/bin/python

print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"
print "Hello, World!\n"


Now just browse it. E.g.:
