Hello,
I have some answers but for some of your questions, there are many (possibly good) answers.
1)Can i build web applications in Python ? If so how. I am planning toI believe you want something that is more just a mailing list. There are at least 4 different solutions for creating web sites with Python.
build a web application for intranet use which deals with workflow of
Internal office communication.
Here are some:
Plone (www.plone.org) Zope (Plone is build with Zope) mod_python
Depends on what you need and how much time you have to do it.
2)Which is best opensource database to be used with Python ?
Under Windows platform, I would like to recommend PostgreSQL 8 - fast enough, it has many data types, procedural languages, triggers, contributed extensions. Supports nested transactions, deferrable constraints etc. For small applications, it can be too heavy.
For smaller, simple applications you can consider FireBird. It is more simple and lightweight.
I also tried SAP-DB before. I cannot tell too much about SAP but it looked promising.
I do not recommend MySQL. If you really want to take advantage of the modern concepts of today's database systems, you will notice that MySQL is not standard enough and usually you will find something that you cannot do with it. (Otherwise MySQL is very popular.)
You can also try other "object persistence" systems. (For example, ZODB ) They are not relational databases but they can be good for you.
3)When i write a remote execution script in python is it required thatI'm not sure what it means. Are you talking about RPC? You can write COM servers using Python. Does this answer your question?
python should be installed in remote system.
4)I heard about Perl/CGI and that CGI application done by pythonCGI is still valid but nobody will recommend it to you. It is obsolete. You should better use a templating or content management system. For bigger sites, you can use a better web application server like Zope, make the programming part at lower level. It requires more knowledge but gives you virtually infinite number of possiblilites.
too.....Is CGI still valid when PHP has taken over the WebApplication
Development, Dominating.
Sorry if these questions are out of this group , but answers to these ?It seems to me that you have interests in various fields but it looks you did not search on the internet.
will help me a lot.
For example, if you search for "web development Python wiki" on google then you will get this link
on the first page:
http://www.fredshack.com/docs/pythonweb.html
I can't believe that you tried to get information from search engines. Please do not ask this list to dig the information for you.
Search on the internet first. Use Python Wiki. Read the articles, read at least the front pages of the tools found. Compare them yourself.
Then if you still need to choose between two but you cannot decide wich one to use - you can come back and ask others what is their experience.
