Or if you don't want to use any 3rd party package and have Python 2.5, you may start from http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/09/27/introducing-wsgi-pythons-secret-web-weapon.html. Here's the standard "Hello world!" example: from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server def application(environ, start_response): start_response('200 OK',[('Content-type','text/html')]) return ['<html><body>Hello World!</body></html>'] httpd = make_server('', 8000, application) print "Serving HTTP on port 8000..." httpd.serve_forever() and point your browser to http://localhost:8000/ HTH, George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
