In PHP, when an HTTP call is made, Apache, using the PHP, interpretes the
PHP file and sends the outcome. But python, an app needs to
be triggered with a specific port. Why is this so? I am not saying PHP is
better. I just want to understand the how python functions,
the fundamentals.
You can do it with URL rewrites but I'd advise against it. It's typically
unnecessary and poor app design.
Web2py sounds similar but you generally skp the mapping part and just name your
controller files and functions according to how you want our urls structured.
It works really well if ou keep our app cleanly designed and avoid the urge to
do dumb things.
