I would be grateful for any advice about a problem which is preventing me from using Python for my current project.
I am hoping to use Python 2.6.2 on the server side with Microsoft ASP [not ASP.NET; version details below]. The behavior I see is: 1. Load very simple page [text below] into browser [Firefox or IE, versions below]. Everything displays, fine. 2. Exit browser, restart it, and reload the same page; or open a second tab and load the same page. 3. In either case, page fails to load, with error: Python ActiveX Scripting Engine, ASP 0211 (0x80020009) A built-in ASP object has been referenced, which is no longer valid. If I edit the page in any way, or just 'touch' it, and refresh the browser, the page will load correctly the first time, and then fail again as described. The page I am using has no actual Python scripting, just the LANGUAGE directive. Here is the complete page text: <%...@language=python%> <HTML> <head></head> <body> <h1>Python Test</h1> <p> </body> </html> Of course, things don't get any better if I put in <% %> with some actual Python in between. I found a five-year-old newsgroup posting with what seemed to be a similar (but not identical) problem. This thread said that the problem went away if server-side debugging was turned off. I have it turned off, no effect. I also tried adding some Response object settings to disallow cacheing, but these did not have any effect. Version Info: Python: 2.6.2 PyWin: pywin32-214 (I ran the client\pyscript.py and server\axsite.py scripts for setup) Client OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 Browsers: Firefox 3.0.14, IE 8.0.6 [identical bug] Server: IIS 5.1 Note, I also tried using Python 3.1 with corresponding pywin, but I could not get that to work with ASP at all; just got server 500 errors. I'd prefer to use Python 2.6.2 anyway since I am fairly new to Python. I would be very grateful for any expert pointers on this, since if I can't solve it I will probably have to go use PHP, Javascript, or something else. Thank you!
