Abstract
This chapter tackles some aspects of web programming with Python. This is a really vast area, but I’ve selected three main topics for your amusement: screen scraping, CGI, and mod_python. In addition, I give you some pointers for finding the proper toolkits for more advanced web application and web service development. For extended examples using CGI, see Chapters 25 and 26. For an example of using the specific web service protocol XML-RPC, see Chapter 27.
