2011-01-08T03:23:05-08:00

Python recipe 577524 by Sunjay Varma (cgi, cookie, management, python, security, sessions). Revision 2.

I think this script should now be functional enough to post here at ActiveState. When you reply or vote down, please post some information on your problem with the code, and if you can, maybe something about the solution. This interface works, and is designed especially for Python. If you like it, don't be afraid to post that either, constructive criticism is all good, but compliments are even better! ;)

Get the latest version of this code here: http://wiki.sunjay.ca/Python:Contents/Python_Session

Latest Changes:

Added a new function for making the session cookie last longer. See code for set_expires. Note: This new function is just in case you need to include a session for longer than one brower session (for example, one day instead).

Create .m3u playlists on the fly for mp3 dowloads (Python)

2006-02-27T10:32:05-08:00

Python recipe 474090 by Davide Andrea .

When offering an MP3 file for downloading, usually two files are stored in the server: the .mp3 file itself, and a small playlist file (.m3u) which tell the mp3 player to stream the .mp3 file. This script avoids the need of storing an .m3u file for each .mp3 file. It serves an .m3u playlist "file" to the client, created on the fly. You can test this script in the site of community radio KGNU; go to http://kgnu.org/ht/listings.html and click on any "Listen" icon.

Python recipe 456361 by Anthony Barker (cgi). Revision 2.

This is a cgi script that allows you to log an ipn request from paypal. Basically if you configure your paypal account with an ipn url it will send a post to a script url. You need to respond with a post and then will receive a VERIFIED response.

Python Script Viewer (Python)

2005-10-03T18:17:11-07:00

Python recipe 440642 by Stephen Chappell (cgi).

First of all, this code was written to take advantage of the custom CGI module that I wrote. The purpose for this script is to allow someone to view a CGI script through a server. I have the problem that when I click on a python (*.py) file while viewed through my browser, the script is run so that it cannot be viewed. Unless the script is using "cgi.execute(function, exception)", then there is no way of getting around the problem. Therefore, this CGI application was written so that python files (and only *.py files) can be viewed if the user knows either the filename of a file in the same directory as this script or the full path of a file somewhere on the host computer. WARNING: do not use this script if you do not want someone to view any and all python scripts on your computer!

My first application server (Python)

2009-02-23T11:53:57-08:00

Python recipe 392879 by Pierre Quentel (web). Revision 8.

For those who want to start dynamic web programming, but don't know what to choose among the many Python web frameworks, this program might be a good starting point

ScriptServer is a minimalist application server, handling both GET and POST requests, including multipart/form-data for file uploads, HTTP redirections, and with an in-memory session management. It can run Python scripts and template files using the standard string substitution format

The scripts are run in the same process as the server, avoiding the CGI overhead. The environment variables are provided in the namespace where the script runs

To start the server, run

python ScriptServer.py

In your web browser, enter http://localhost, this will show you a listing of the directory. Add the scripts in the same directory as ScriptServer

http - Exploring Headers and Cookies from Servers (Python)

2004-08-18T10:23:52-07:00

Python recipe 298336 by Michael Foord (cgi). Revision 5.

This CGI script allows you to specify a URL. It fetches the URL and displays all the headers sent by the server. It is based on approx.py the CGI-proxy I'm building. It includes authentication circuitry and I'm using it to understand http authentication.

This script demostrates using urllib2 to fetch a URL - using a request object with User-Agent header. It also demostrates basic authentication and shows the possible http errors - using a dictionary 'borrowed' from BaseHTTPServer.

It will also save cookies using the ClientCookie module, if it's available.
