Hi all,

I'm a python noob so don't be mean :)
I have a URL like http://mySite.net?userID=398&age=28
I'm trying to create a new python script that is called when a user 
click a button "Redirect". When a user clicks the "Redirect" button, I 
want to send the user to either of the 2 pages, depending on the age of 
the user (sent as a parameter using the URL).

What is the best way to
1. Read the URL and get the parameters (age=28 in this case)
2. Redirect the the user accordingly

I have done this kind of thing in a jsp/servlet environment but I have 
no idea how to proceed in the Python world.

Any advice/example would help.

Regards,
Sohrab
