CGI -> mod_python

[bernhard.heinzel]

Hi,

it is a kind of nooby question. Is there a way to transfer a CGI python
script to mod_python without rewriting the code?

Thanks.

Not that I know of, but thanks to the WSGI (specified in PEP 333:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/) you should be able to convert
your app to WSGI, which will run on mod_python, relatively easily
(depending on your code; 'print' won't work anymore)

Did you look in the mod_python documentation?

http://www.modpython.org/live/curren.../hand-cgi.html

It certainly isn't the preferred way of using mod_python. You really
should consider porting it properly to either mod_python or as
someone else suggested, WSGI.

Had you used WebStack [1] to begin with, this migration would involve
changing a few lines of glue code. However, as others have pointed out,
WSGI may be an appropriate API to target for a modest rewrite of the
code, given substantial resemblances to aspects of the CGI API.

I assume this is the library one could use if you were running on Python
2.3 or 2.4
