Simple python + html + from --> to python script

[flit]

Hello All,

I am trying to get information from a form and send it to a python
script without success..
Here is my objective:

User enters data in form --form send variables to python script -->
script runs and output result.

the form code

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/script.py" name="coord">En tre com
os dados <input name="data1"><b r>

Entre com os dados <input name="data2"><b r>
Vai magraum <button name="submete"> </button></form>

In my script.py

What I should have to print
something like

Hello the data1 + data 2 = ....

?

Maybe I am stumbling in something very simple, but I cannot find some
working example, and I am totally confused...
Thanks in advance

Untested, without error checking. Caveat emptor:

import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable() # optional error handling

form = cgi.FieldStorag e()

d1 = form["data1"].value
d2 = form["data2"].value

print """\
Content-type: text/plain

Hello: the data were: %s and %s""" % (d1, d2)

A good starting place would be the documentation on python.org.

In this case, the python library reference would have been helpful:

http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html

Cheers,

Sorry but for a totally newbie the lib doccumentation doesnt help..
The target audience for the docs are for "grown ups" programmers..
I think I will do some tutorial, in baby steps...

Here is my objective:

script runs and output result.

<OT topic="HTTP">
If the script has side-effects (adding/updating/deleting database
records, writing files, etc), the script should not "output results",
but redirect to another url where the user can see these results.

Else - if the script doesn't have side-effects (ie :a search form, ...),
then the HTTP method should be "GET", not "POST".
</OT>

the form code

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/script.py" name="coord">En tre com
os dados <input name="data1"><b r>

Entre com os dados <input name="data2"><b r>
Vai magraum <button name="submete"> </button></form>

<OT topic="HTML">
button elements don't submit the form - they in fact don't do anything
unless you attach behaviour to them with javascript. What you want here
is an input type='submit'.

Also, the "button" tag doesn't require a end tag.

<form method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/script.py" name="coord">
<label for="data1">Ent re com os dados</label>
<input type="text" name="data1" id="data1"><br >

<label for="data2">Ent re com os dados </label>
<input type="text" name="data2" id="data2"><br >
Vai magraum <input type="submit" name="submete">
</form>
</OT>

(cf Steve's answer and the cgi module's doc for your problem)

oops ! Sorry, your syntax was ok - button elements actually requires the
end tag.

p in 'o****@xiludom. gro'.split('@')])"

Good point. I forget sometimes, because that's how I learned, but I
came in with some background in other scripting languages, so I guess I
knew what I was looking for.

Thanks.
