Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a way to allow a standalone python process to easily
interactive with a few web pages. It has to be able to easily receive
requests from the web and post data to the web.
I am thinking about implementing a standalone soap server, but I am
not sure which library is good.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Geoffrey

This seems to be an HTTP client library. It is very interesting, but
is not what I need. I am looking for something that can provide
service to web pages. For example, when a browser requests a web page,
the web page is going to send a few requests to my server. My server
then is going to respond, and the web page takes the response and
format it in human readable form.




Well, surely in that case you can use any protocol you like. It's up to the web server and your "web server server" to agree how to communicate. Take a look at the SocketServer library, for example.
