> "SPYCE is a webserver plugin that supports simple and efficient
> Python-based
> dynamic HTML scripting. Those who like Python and are familiar with JSP,
> or PHP,
> or ASP, should have a look at this engine. It allows one to generate
> dynamic
> HTML content just as easily, using Python for the dynamic parts. Its
> modular
> design makes it very flexible and extensible. It supports FastCGI, CGI
> and
> mod_python to plugin into Apache and most other webservers. It can also
> be used
> as a command-line utility for HTML pre-processing or as a web server
> proxy. The
> easiest way to understand what Spyce can do is just to look through the
> examples

> "Java Server Pages, JSP, is a widely popular, effective and
> well-supported
> solution based on Java Servlet technology. Spyce differs from JSP in
> that it
> embeds Python code among the HTML, thus providing two advantages over
> Java.
> First, Python is a high-level scripting language, where rapid
> manipulation of
> text is more readily performed. Second, Python is interpreted and
> dynamically-typed, which can be advantageous for rapid prototyping. Like
> Java,
> Python is portable."

> Performance
> "Although flexibility usually outweighs raw performance in the choice of
> technology, it is nice to know that the technology that you have chosen
> is not a
> resource hog, and can scale to large production sites. The current Spyce
> implementation is comparable to its cousin technologies: JSP, PHP and
> ASP."
