#51289 — Newbie: Python 3 and web applications?

I'm currently learning Python, and I've been focusing on Python3.  To try to 
kill two birds with one stone, I would also like to learn the basics of 
writing small web applications.  

These web applications don't need to do much more than provide an interface 
to a small database, and they may not even be required to be accessible 
outside of a LAN.

Does anyone have any tips on what's the best way to start off this 
adventure?


Thanks in advance,
Rui Maciel

I recommend using a web framework such as Django or Pylons.  It's more to
learn, but frameworks handle a ton of low-level details for you and make
web development overall much easier.

Take a look at the Python3 branch of Flask: 
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git

And the werkzeug webserver:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/werkzeug.git


If you download these you can install them with:

> python setup.py install

(werkzeug first, then flask)


Here's the most basic webserver you can create that way:


from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def main():
     return "Hello, Web!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
     app.run()



And yet flask is highly extensible with a lot of plugins.
