| The main purpose of this topic guide is to help in choosing between the plethora of frameworks and templating systems 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 = |

Web Programming in Python
This topic guide attempts to cover every aspect of programming Web applications (both clients and servers) using Python.
Server Programming
Topics concerned with writing providing Web applications, doing server-side programming, providing a Web site or pages which use Python in some way:
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:
WebBrowserProgramming - interfacing with existing browsers and browser technologies
WebClientProgramming - writing clients, typically at a lower level than a full Web browser
WebServices - tools for accessing and providing functionality via APIs over the Web
