Can python do this?

[Werner Schiendl]

Hi,

yes this is very possible.

And there are a lot of ways to do so.

You can use exec and eval to run code or evaluate expressions in your
current python context.
The Python C API also allows you to run arbitrary code.

There are also ready made solutions available for running Python code
through the web.
I. e. you can use Python as language for ASP pages when you have the windows
extensions installed.
Zope also provides a lot of possibilities to run Python code (Scripts,
external methods, Products - in order of complexity ;-)
