Are there people still actively developing new cgi scripts in python? I know some modern HTTPDs don’t even support classic cgi without some kind of fastcgi daemon in between. I am aware that some parts of various wsgi tools use the cgi module, but is the cgitb module useful for them?
Your suggestions might be good ideas, but I don’t know if they would be used. I feel like its kind of like updating the macpath module - sure you can make code improvements to it if you want, but its for a workflow that is very rarely used. > -----Original Message----- > From: Python-Dev <python-dev-bounces+tritium- > list=sdamon....@python.org> On Behalf Of Stéphane Blondon > Sent: Saturday, April 7, 2018 4:21 PM > To: python-dev@python.org > Subject: [Python-Dev] Is it useful to update cgitb module? > > Hello, > > I wonder if it's useful to update the cgitb module, in particular the > html output. > I see some possible improvements: > > 1.
