- Steve I agree with you,
- but  replacing a number of 3 to 10 lines of code scripts won't create a mess 
;-)

So, assuming you want the 'straight ahead' (i.e. no framework, like Django) your 
looking at vanilla CGI programming.


form = cgi.FieldStorage() # parse query string, handles decoding and GET and 
POST 

print "<p>name:", form["name"].value

Enjoy! :)
