Converting from integers to output

Wed Jul 14 13:23:45 EDT 2004

Okay, I've almost got this, but I still don't understand how to actually
make the data appear.  It is supposed to show up in bars(nsteps) that blend
one color to the other, but I can only get the static html colors to show.
Should I just erase the html div class info and put in a formula instead?
(File is below...)

Many, many thanks,
Krista

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
def longtorgb(c):
     '''long to (r,g,b) tuple assuming that r
     the r bits are high and the b bits are low'''

     return ((c & 0xff0000) >> 16, (c & 0xff00) >> 8, c & 0xff)

def nsteps():
    nsteps = int(raw_input("steps> "))

    red1 = int(raw_input("red1> "))

def green1():
    green1 = int(raw_input("green1> "))
def green2():
    green2 = int(raw_input("green2> "))

colorstring = ""

     fraction = i/nsteps
def mix():
     mix = (1-fraction)*blue1 + fraction*blue2
     mix = (1-fraction)*red1 + fraction*red2

def rgb():
     rgb = longtorgb(mix)
     colorstring += "color %d is rgb(%d,%d,%d)\n" % ((i,)+rgb)
