Many small improvements to the quality of...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...next task in developing CORE was to find a useful templating module to integrate our Python code with HTML pages running on the Apache web server. After looking at a number of available Python-based templating modules, we opted to create a simple parser of our own. Our approach was to convert server-side template pages into Python servlets whose output is sent by the HTTP server to the user's browser. Although this was a fairly simple exercise, we did run into some problems stemming from our des...
