[Tutor] CGI and ODBC questions

[McCarney, James Alexander]

Hail noble Python gurus!

Well Py is way cool, but I am sure you all knew that long before I ever
found out. ;-)

I am turning my attention to server-side cgi-bin processing. 

What I have is this:

-platform: W 2000
-web server: (either Apache or IIS[gag]): would like to go w Apache, but may
have to port to IIS
- Python (yay!) v 2.1.1
- Access Database (ODBC driver) (Could go with mySQL, but Access is what I
have right now.)

What I want is this:

Reader/reviewer has some comments about nifty documents I may have penned.

Script serves a form he can fill in and commit to the dB.

Script also e-mails me and tells me that this event has occurred.


There is ample documentation on the cgi module, so I will do my homework
there.
But where is it written in Python/server cyberland about setting up Python
with the server on NT? Likely with the http server docs you may claim.

So has anyone gone down this road before? Does anyone have knowledge on
setting up Python with one or other of these servers?

And can anyone tell me how to get there from here?

Best regards to all of you and thanks for any constructive help you may
provide.
