If I understand you correctly, what you're describing here is a webserver - i.e. Apache, nginx etc. I'm not sure why you'd want to write one of those if you're as inexperienced as you say. > I googled about that but I do not understand if I should do that by > CGI, Flask, mod_wsgi, or any other way...

If that's what you really meant to ask (how to write a script that processes a request and returns a response), then plain CGI might be the best place to start, if you're trying to get a handle on what's going on. Once you're happy that you understand how to build a plain CGI script, frameworks [like Flask] can be very useful ... and Flask is both lightweight and has good documentation, so it's not a bad choice for learning purposes. -[]z. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
