Programming ASP with ActivePython [also a general Web question]

Mon Jun 4 13:58:34 EDT 2001

Hi,

Had the same problem, but before Mark Hammond ( I believe ) posted the fix
also referenced to here, I installed Apache and mod_python. Both available
on Win and *nix. Works perfect. The old-fashion-way of mixing code and
content ( ASP, JSP, PHP, PSP etc. ) is terrible to work with in larger
projects. Using mod_python I've built a set of templates, actual HTML-code
with %(id)s in them I load to build-pages with. 100% seperation of coding
and design. Much easier to work with and maintain. I'm thinking of writing
an article about the project as soon as it's finished.
