Hey all,=20

I'm new to this list and Python and relatively new to programming at all =
and am looking for a better tutorial than I have used so far for =
figuring out how to process a form using Python/CGI. At present I have =
made one attempt work utilizing a code example given, but the =
information on what is going on with this code example and how to modify =
it to suit my needs is seriously lacking. My next thought was to look =
into the information given for the CGI module in python, noting that I =
had used an import cgi line in the code only to find myself beating my =
head against a wall for an inability to find clarity there... If anyone =
knows where I can find some information regarding the CGI module that =
will make a fair amount of sense, or a well written CGI tutorial I would =
greatly appreciate hearing from you...=20

Last time I dealt with CGI I used Perl and am relatively familiar with =
the coding to split key/value pairs and parse out the form's =
information, but expect that the cgi module will make me love it by =
saving me alot of troubles in that area... TIA

Jason
