hi. i'm reading 'Programming Python' and having some trouble with
adding a web interface in chapter one. (page 72)
basically, i open the cgi101.html file in Firefox.
i enter a name and hit Submit Query:
but instead of getting the Hello "name"! page returned to me.... I
get the error page.
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage() # parse form data
print "Content-type: text/html\n" # hdr plus blank line
print "<title>Reply Page</title>" # html reply page
if not form.has_key('user'):
print "<h1>Who are you?</h1>"
else:
print "<h1>Hello <i>%s</i>!</h1>" % cgi.escape(form['user'].value)
the book says i might have to modify the path to my Python in the #!
line at the top of the script file and make it executable with a
chmod command.
i've tried many things to get this working.
also, i'm not getting anywhere with the webserver.py file either.
here is the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "webserver.py", line 22, in ?
srvrobj = HTTPServer(srvraddr, CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/

python2.3/SocketServer.py", line 341, in server_bind
File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (13, 'Permission denied')
can anyone help?
