OriginalWebProgrammingClassification is an older listing of Python-related web tools, and is now out of date and only of historical interest. ==== Notes on Editing ==== Opinions based on experience are welcome, but framework or templating system authors should sign their comments with InTheirOwnWords to admit to a certain bias. The rather strict format of the main entries (described in WebProgrammingTemplateHelp) should not been seen as a limit. Feel free to add new pages containing examples, direct comparisons etc. When adding new entries choose Web``Programming``Template when creating the page. == Discussion == Wait- I don't understand- Why were BaseHttpServer, DocXmlRpcServer, CgiScripts taken out? I'd think that on a page on WebProgramming, those things would be listed. -- LionKimbro [[DateTime(2004-08-02T14:36:38Z)]] Other things: * The reorganisation is presumably to help people find the right framework - things like simple CGI-based APIs might not be cutting edge stuff, but they're potentially very useful if you don't have a "full" hosting account. * I didn't really agree with some aspects of the revised classifications. I think the template systems need their own page, and the multiple classifications really need banishing to another page where they'll confuse only the experts. -- PaulBoddie [[DateTime()]] |

Web Programming in Python
This topic guide attempts to cover every aspect of programming Web applications (both clients and servers) using Python.

WebFrameworks - for developing server-side Web applications in Python
CgiScripts - information on writing CGI scripts/programs in Python when the WebFrameworks seem like too much work or aren't available at your provider
WebServers - server solutions written in (or using) Python
ContentManagementSystems - solutions specially designed for organising and publishing content
WebServices - tools for accessing and providing functionality via APIs over the Web
Client Programming
Topics concerned with accessing Web applications, sites or pages using Python:
WebServices - tools for accessing and providing functionality via APIs over the Web
