Re: Building Python Based Web Application

The most modest way is to use pure Python and interface via CGI with
the web. I would start there.

As you code you will find yourself saying "I wonder if a framework is
out there that already has automated this specific process (say
templating)?", well then you can search and find such a framework.

If you pick a framework you are not familiar with right from the start
then besides your original problem that you want o solve, you have
another problem -- that of learning a new framework. You will end up
molding your problem to some framework (this is not necessarily a very
bad thing) rather than finding a framework that helps you solve the
problem.

Hi folks.

I am interested on this topic as well.

If my application is not database related, what would be a good choice?

I have clients that wish to use my Python applications but I am not
willing to give them the code. So, I am thinking about setting it up
as a web based application and let them run it from their browser. If
things go well, may be I can charge them for usage later.

The application will involve getting a data file from the user, do some
processing, and return a result file to the user. Very modest - to
start.
