Ok, I don't think I'm being very clear = )

Say a user visits my website with this address bar:
https://www.mywebsite.com/index.htm?data=123xyz

I would like to place the '123xyz' into a variable so that I can
access it whenever I want to. I think that loell's code does that
except that I can't figure out how to get the value of 'data.'

After using this: (and importing cgi and google.appengine.ext.webapp)

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        data = cgi.escape(self.request.get('data'))

I've tried:
print data
print MainPage.data
print MainPage.self.data
etc.

I can't figure out how to access the '123xyz' from the url. I get the
same error message every time: name 'data' is not defined
