[Tutor] Python / CGI

[Fiyawerx]

Wow, thanks for all the info guys, more than i was expecting :). After
looking around at various options, I did download the python gdata module
for google's calendar. What I'm thinking is, since my fiance has two
schools, she can just log into her google account and create a calendar for
each school. I'm going to try to make a custom cgi front-end that will pull
the data, and offer 'slots' to sign up for. When you sign up for a slot, you
have to use a username for the front-end, I'm thinking I can store them in a
db. That way I don't have to worry about everyone needing google calendars
to be able to access hers. So when someone picks a slot and submits it, the
program behind the scenes will actually just use her google account to
submit, and append the username to the entry, so you can tell who did what,
but it still will only require one real google account. Gdata comes with
some really nice samples, one that basically does any of the calendar
functions i'm going to need, so I think I should bea ble to rip the code out
of that module to use, so I still get to learn the cgi doing my front-end,
but that way I know I have a well functioning back-end to easy some of my
troubles.

Here is a bit of the output from their 'sample' python script that comes
with the package.

So it seems it already has samples of anything I'm going to need to do.
