I want to know how to show requests ($_GET) on a python script ?
Note that i am using mod_python as basic web server running with apache2 on UBUNTU server.
If you have any idea your help will be very appreciated :)
Other python web server like Django etc ... note needed in my case because i am running only one python script for a specific task :)
For a simple script to respond to a web request, I'd not use mod_python; you probably want to switch to mod_wsgi instead here.
You'll have to parse the QUERY_STRING WSGI variable yourself; you can do so with the urlparse.parse_qs() function:
from urlparse import parse_qs
def application(environ, start_response):
params = parse_qs(environ['QUERY_STRING'])
foo = params.get('foo', [None])[0]
parse_qs parses out the query string and sets the value in the resulting dictionary to a list per key, because keys can occur more than once in a query string.
The above will pick out the first value in the list, or None if the key isn't present at all.
If you are going to stick to plain-vanilla WSGI, read a decent tutorial to understand how it works. I strongly recommend you use a framework however; even just Werkzeug can make your life as a developer vastly simpler, even for a simple script.
If you are going to stick with a mod_python request handler, replace environ['QUERY_STRING'] with request.args():
from urlparse import parse_qs
def requesthandler(req):
params = parse_qs(req.args)
foo = params.get('foo', [None])[0]
def application 'foo' from an external string ?
mod_python, not mod_wsgi. That's rather ancient and outmoded these days..mod_wsgi like you suggested me !mod_wsgi is certainly the better choice unless you want to write a Apache filter or connection handler.req (the argument to the handler).
