I work at a little software company that has delivered some iis/asp based apps to a corporate customer. The apps are used by 50-1000 employees. The asp code is vbscript (quite messy) and I'd like to port these apps to Python. I run a test installation of Webware which is my favourite system. I fear 2 problems:
We did sorta the same thing. Our first step was to start writing asp pages in python, and trying to move as much code as possible out of the pages and into modules.
It was hard, but a decent first step. There's also PSP, a plugin to Webware which offers ASP-page like syntax, and may be a good step for you to take.
- authentication: the customer has integrated Win32 authentication and wouldn't like to enter the user accounts twice. Does a webware app fit in such an environment?
Sorry, I don't have any experience with that, but some Googling may help. If you can use IIS to authenticate URL's, you won't have to mess with it in python at all.
an ISAPI filter. Has somebody tried to take the PHP ISAPI code as a base for a WebKit ISAPI filter? Is that difficult? :)
There's an adapter part of the Ww distribution that is ISAPI. I have no experience with it, but it's probably the right place to start.
There are 3 Python options, as far as I know:
There are many many more. Do some googling. Around here, we like Webware. It's a breath of fresh air after ASP.
