how to output an HTML GET variable in python

Question

there's lots of information on retrieving GET variables from a python script. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to send GET variables from a python script to an HTML page. So I'm just wondering if there's a simple way to do this.

I'm using Google App Engine webapp to develop my site. Thanks for your support!

What do you mean send GET variables to HTML? Get variables can be set in url, after "?" character and divided by "&" character: <a href="/somewhere/?var1=value1&var2=value2>. When user clicks on that link server will get two GET variables. — demalexx

Just append the get parameters to the url: request.html?param1=value1&param2=value2.
Now you could just create your string with some python variables which would hold the param names and values.

Edit: better use python's url lib:

import urllib
params = urllib.urlencode({'param1': 'value1', 'param2': 'value2', 'value3': 'param3'})
url = "example.com?%s" % params

Ok, I added an example with python's urllib. I think this should work.
