Python Forms?

[Nico C. Kalteis]

Good day!

First of all, thank you to anybody who can answer me this.  I'm primarily an
ASP developer and have only recently had cause to tinker with Python.  So
here is my question:

Is there a way to use Python to retrieve variables that are passed to it by
a form without using a CGI script?  In other words, is there something
equivalent to the ASP script:

<% localvariable = request("querystring") %>

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Sincerely,

Nico C. Kalteis
