Simple Server

[Arturo Pérez Mulas]

I am running Microsoft IIS to run ASP pages using python as the scripting
language. I know it is not the
best "free soft" choice, but it has some advantages:

- let's you run almost anything from within the pages
- easy to learn
- access to common Windows objects (COM)
- does not require you to use only CGIs for anything you want to do, but you
can embed the python scripts in your
normal HTML source.

On the negative side, if you choose this, you are stucked in Windows and MS
ASP architecture. Other choice,
which gives you platform free options is Apache, but I found that ASP is
much more logical that trying to control a complex
site only via CGIs

Best regards,

    Arturo Pérez
