The python-based zope application server has session management. Togther with a built-in user and access rights management. > 3) Structured request variables.

This can be done in zope if you name a variable <name>:list. That then will give you the variable as list regardless of the number of occurences. > > An "RTFM" answer with a URL for the M would be great. :) For zope: http://www.zope.org/ But there are plenty of other python http frameworks. The mod_python is AFAIK the most basic and primitive one. But build on top of it or fully python-based you have plenty of options. Google is your friend - this NG features similar discussions every other week. -- Regards, Diez B. Roggisch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
