Converting from integers to output

I'm sure this is so easy that it will hurt for anyone to read it, but I
really need some direction. I'm trying to create a color chart (RGB) that
shows steps between two different colors as entered by the user. I know the
web script must convert the values into integers, store them as variables
and then output them, but I cannot seem to establish the calculation for
this. I'm attaching the html I've got, that works when the page is static,
and I know I need to create a fraction for each color by using the formula,
fraction = (i+1.0)/nsteps
r = (1-fraction)*red1 + fraction*red2

but the program won't recognize i... anyway, here is the html...if anyone
can give me any help I'd be so grateful!!

Thanks,
Krista

Where's the INPUT HTML? I presume you display something from
which the user is supposed to pick two colors. If "i" is one of the
fields being returned from the input HTML then...
Thanks,
Krista

import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorag e()
.... it would be accessed as
form["i"]
(unless I misread the help file for the cgi module).

Without knowing the input HTML, it is difficult to guess what
the data looks like. Does the user enter first RGB, then second RGB? Are
the RGB entries triplets in the range 0..255, or 0.0 .. 1.0, or
singletons of the form RRGGBB where each RR, GG, BB is in the range
00..FF?

It looks like the output wants percentages, so you'd have to
divide each part of the triplet by (100.0/255.0), or just multiple by
100.0 if the range was 0.0 .. 1.0. I leave the third variant for the
student <G>
start = int(raw_input(" Start value> "))
end = int(raw_input(" End value> "))
steps = int(raw_input(" Number of steps> "))

if start > end:
print "Swapping start and end points"
(start, end) = (end, start)

span = end - start
incr = float(span) / steps

print "Data Point Value"
for n in range(steps+1):
print " %5s %5s (%5s)" % (n,
int(start + incr * n),
(start + incr * n))
Input:
5
18
10
Output:
Data Point Value
0 5 ( 5.0)
1 6 ( 6.3)
2 7 ( 7.6)
3 8 ( 8.9)
4 10 ( 10.2)
5 11 ( 11.5)
6 12 ( 12.8)
7 14 ( 14.1)
8 15 ( 15.4)
9 16 ( 16.7)
10 18 ( 18.0)

Input:
240
128
8
Output:
Swapping start and end points
Data Point Value
0 128 (128.0)
1 142 (142.0)
2 156 (156.0)
3 170 (170.0)
4 184 (184.0)
5 198 (198.0)
6 212 (212.0)
7 226 (226.0)
8 240 (240.0)

Extrapolate for three color components (I'm assuming you want to
do this in RGB coordinates -- you'll likely get different results if you
convert the end-points to HSV and interpolate through that coordinate,
then convert back to RGB)

This is a start. You can insert tuples in a html string with the
formatting operator (%). Literal % characters in the string have to
be doubled if you are using the formatting operator.

You did ;) It's form["i"].value (form["i"] returns a FieldStorage

Ah well... It would, at least, have returned /something/,
opposed to referencing an undefined i

Okay, I've almost got this, but I still don't understand how to actually
make the data appear. It is supposed to show up in bars(nsteps) that blend
one color to the other, but I can only get the static html colors to show.
Should I just erase the html div class info and put in a formula instead?
(File is below...)

Sorry, serious error. longtorgb is nonlinear so the _tuples_
have to be mixed, not the integers. You probably want to work
with tuples only so you can drop the conversion crap. Correct
code:

import cgi

def rgbtolong(rgb):
'''(r,g,b) tuple to long assuming that the
r bits are high and the b bits are low'''

return (rgb[0] << 16) + (rgb[1] << 8) + rgb[2]

def longtorgb(c):
'''long to (r,g,b) tuple assuming that the
r bits are high and the b bits are low'''

return ((c & 0xff0000) >> 16, (c & 0x00ff00) >> 8, c & 0xff)

if __name__ == '__main__':

form = cgi.FieldStorag e()

# fetch input
#col1 = int(form['color1'].value)
#col2 = int(form['color2'].value)
col1 = 0xff # blue
