Web development with Python 3.1

Apache does this, unless I am misunderstanding you.


> of code to templates

Those who code in HTML don't need this. In any case it's not hard to
call a function in a class that writes the HTML before the content,
then write the content, then call another function that writes the
HTML after the content. This is how my sites are run, though in PHP
instead of Python. No prepackaged templates.

GET is easy, just parse the HTTP request. I don't know how much of a
problem POST would be.

This falls under database, cookies, or HTTP request parsing. Or am I
misunderstanding something again?

Just add it into the HTML.

Same as writing to stdout, just output the HTTP headers first.

This does not differ from regular (non-web) Python coding.

I would really like to know what else. So far, I am not convinced that
a framework offers anything that is not already easily accomplished in
Python.
