The main purpose of this topic guide is to help in choosing a framework for web programming without having to learn each of them. In addition, information about different PresentationTechnologies is also provided, where appropriate, since this can be a major deciding factor in choosing a framework. = Web Programming in Python =

Although comments and clarifications by the framework authors are very much appreciated, adding a standard signature like InTheirOwnWords would help to bring words like 'easy' and 'intuitive' into context. This topic guide attempts to cover every aspect of programming Web applications (both clients and servers) using 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
