[Pythonmac-SIG] Three Questions ? (again)

Hi everyone,

I use Python for a WEB-Project (VIPP - the Virtual Institute of Physiologie
of the 19th Century) here at the Institute and I have three very different
Questions dealing with Python on the Macintosh:

1. Strange Behaviour with Python 1.5.1 ?
I've written a little Tkinter-based Interface to maintanance some
configuration files. Since updating to Python 1.5.1 my Macintosh crashes
often by using a option menu with error 1 or 2 (dangling pointer). It did
that never before with the former versions of python. Is this a known bug,
strange behaviour or should I simple repair my Powerbook?

2. How to write CGI-Scripts in Python on the Macintosh?
Yes, I know there is a example CGI-Script in the Distribution but

   2.1. It only runs one time of my servers, by calling it a second time
   it crashes. I've testet it with Machttpd, WebStar and QuidProQuo.

   2.2. I want something like the wrapper classes in MacPerl that gives
   me the opportunity to handle CGI-Scripts in the same way as on my
   Linux-Box. With Perl it is possible, why not with Python? (I don't
   want to write further CGI-Scripts with $@% ;-)

3. In these project we deal a lot with SGML. Are there some libs available
that can do things like the CoST (Copenhagen SGML Tools - written in Tcl)?
Especially on the Mac: Is there a lib that can deal with the output of
parsers like nsgml?

It would be great if someone could help me. And ... Sorry about my
(d)english, but it's the only I have ;-)

PS: Why should your mailer bounced back my mail (pythonmac-sig@python.org:
nor route to host ....)
