>> I've been digging around, but can't seem to come up
with the right combo of words to google for to get
helpful results. Is there some handy wrapper/module
that allows code to target existance as both a CGI
script and a mod_python script, with only one "import"
statement? Perhaps some common object model?
You could try WebStack - it provides a common API which
would probably be suitable for your purposes:

Paul,
I meant to thank you (even if I already have) for this link
as it's just what I've been looking for. Thanks!
I've had some trouble installing it on one of my boxes and
was hoping you might be able to tell me where I've gone awry:
It's a Debian/Testing box with Apache 1.x running with both
CGI and mod_python enabled for testing purposes (my aim is
to make use of at least the CGI, mod_python, and
BaseHTTPRequestHandler).
When I run the setup.py script (either as myself or as root)
I get back
root@rubbish# cd ~tim/WebStack-1.1.2
root@rubbish# python2.3 setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
Now this makes sense, as I don't have a config/ in my
/usr/lib/python2.3 directory. However, I've not had trouble
with any other packages (though everything else has been
added via apt-get, not via setup.py files). Is this a file
that should be there? If so, where would I go about finding
it? If not, is there a simple way to do an install without
setup.py (or to tell setup.py to "get over it")? Or is
there a Debian repository with a .deb package for it that I
can point at (I noticed you may have some Debian sort of
leaning while hunting through the help)?
Push come to shove, it would be possible to manually copy
files to their associated locations: docs and apidocs to a
WebStack directory in /usr/share/docs, and the WebStack
python files to /usr/lib/python2.3/WebStack ...is there
anything else I'm missing here?
Thanks,
-tim
