Programming ASP with ActivePython [also a general Web question]

Mon Jun 4 11:50:29 EDT 2001

Hello.

I've got one trouble with ASPs on Python -- they doesn't work ;)
In fact, I did run pyscript.py, and it said that it has successfully 
registered python as a scripting engine.
When I try to execute server-side scripts, they fail (saying 500 Server
Error).
In fact, client-side scripts does work in IE (even Calculator :)
Since it's the first time I try to do anything on IIS/ASP, I can't even
find the error logs (bye, bye /var/log/apache/error.log).
Did anyone faced the same problem?
I did included my try.asp in this message, just in case I'm wrong in the
script:

--
<HTML>

<%@ LANGUAGE=Python %>

<%
for i in range(3,8):
  Response.Write("<FONT SIZE=%d>Hello World!!<BR>" % i)
%>

</HTML>

P.S. Can anyone advise me some nice Python web programming environment
based on *nix? I've checked mod_python -- but it doesn't support sessions
and persistent db connections, and I am too lazy to write them by myself.
Zope seems to be too heavy and bloated (IMHO).
In fact I'd like to have something really working in the production already
(for example, WebWare doesn't seem to me being in that state), fast, and 
easy to write for (e.g. also supporting features such as mentioned
sessions, persistent database connections).
Maybe I didn't searched too long, but right now it seems to me (poor man I
am) that ASP on Windows is the only solution.

P.P.S. I am running IIS 5.0 on Win2k Advanced Server SP2, with ActivePython
2.1.0.210
