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

Editorial Note

This simplified start page replaces the previous “comprehensive” guide to Web programming. Unless adding a distinct category of Web programming, please add things like new frameworks to the appropriate page - not to this page.
