can expertise in python share some simple codes with html as well to
demonstrate this. [link to python.my thread]
Answer: As I'm bored today coz Kristen didn't answer my email yet, I pop my ubuntu terminal and type this code:
## =========================================================
# Sample python site by ApOgEE
# ----------------------------
# 1) Make sure you have apache and enable mod-python on your apache. For example on ubuntu:
# $ sudo apt-get install apache2
# $ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python
# $ sudo a2enmod python
#
# 2) Make sure you have proper PythonHandler. For example:
# AddHandler mod_python .py
# PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
# PythonDebug On
#
# 3) Enter this codes and name it as 'pythonmysample.py' on your web directory
#
# 4) test it on your browser http://localhost/pythonmysample.py
#
def index(req):
thetitle = "Python.my sample by ApOgEE"
mysite = siteheader(thetitle)
mysite += sitebody(thetitle)
mysite += sitefoot()
return mysite
def siteheader(title):
str = "<html><head><title>" + title + "\n"
str += "</title></head><body>\n"
return str
def sitefoot():
str = "\n</body></html>"
return str
def sitebody(title):
str = "<h1>" + title + "</h1>\n"
str += "<p>Hi mate!<br>\n" + \
"This is the testing python site example.<br><br>" + \
"Coded by: ApOgEE<br>" + \
"Visit <a href=\"http://coderstalk.blogspot.com\">http://coderstalk.blogspot.com</a>\n"
return str
# end of code. Copyright (C) 2009, ApOgEE - http://coderstalk.blogspot.com
If you have problem opening the page on your ubuntu, here is the checklist:
- Install apache2 and libapache2-mod-python and enable mod-python
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python
$ sudo a2enmod python - Edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default. Search for this lines:
<Directory /var/www/>
and add python handler like this:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory><Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On
</Directory> - Restart your apache
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
You can also download the simple python website source code.
That's all. Hope you enjoy it... Happy Coding!!
