Strategy to Verify Python Program is POST'ing to a web server.

2011-06-18 Thread mzagu...@gmail.com
Hello Folks,

I am wondering what your strategies are for ensuring that data
transmitted to a website via a python program is indeed from that
program, and not from someone submitting POST data using some other
means.  I find it likely that there is no solution, in which case what
is the best solution for sending data to a remote server from a python
program and ensuring that it is from that program?

For example, if I create a website that tracks some sort of
statistical information and don't ensure that my program is the one
that is uploading it, the statistics can be thrown off by people
entering false POST data onto the data upload page.  Any remedy?

Thanks

Calling a script requiring user input from another script

2009-02-18 Thread mzagu...@gmail.com
I'm kind of new to this so bear with me.

I have a script made that requires user input (lets call it script A)
while it's running.  However, I would like to create another script
(script B) that can batch process (i.e. run script A over and over
with different user inputs based on script B).  Is this possible?  and
how so?  Thanks in advance.
