Here's a demo script called 'tut1.asp' located in
'site-packages\win32comext\axscript\Demos\client\asp':

<HTML>

<SCRIPT Language="Python" RUNAT=Server>

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

</SCRIPT>

</HTML>

###################

and here is 'CreateObject.asp' from the same directory:

<HTML>

<SCRIPT Language="Python" RUNAT=Server>

# Just for the sake of the demo, our Python script engine
# will create a Python.Interpreter COM object, and call that.

# This is completely useless, as the Python Script Engine is
# completely normal Python, and ASP does not impose retrictions, so
# there is nothing the COM object can do that we can not do natively.

o = Server.CreateObject("Python.Interpreter")

Response.Write("Python says 1+1=" + str(o.Eval("1+1")))

</SCRIPT>

</HTML>
